About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

For most Mooresville homes, a half cord to a full cord covers a normal heating season, with heavier stove users leaning toward a full cord or slightly more.

A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for Mooresville's red clay yards, since fresh mulch beds now can help protect root systems before the first frost hits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so air can move underneath, since Mooresville's red clay soil holds moisture and can wick dampness right up into a bottom row of logs. Leave the stack uncovered on the sides but shield the top with a simple tarp or metal roofing scrap, because full coverage traps humidity against the wood during our muggy stretches and slows seasoning instead of helping it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both benefit from a quick moisture check before you build a big fire. Split a piece open and press a moisture meter to the freshly exposed face rather than the bark, since bark readings are misleading. Wood under twenty percent moisture will pop and catch fast, while anything higher will smolder and coat your flue with creosote, which matters more here given our humid shoulder seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost date around November 5, since seasoned wood sells fast once temperatures start dropping and Mooresville's damp fall air means late deliveries have less time to finish drying before you need to burn it. Ordering in September or early October gives your stack extra weeks to adjust to outdoor conditions.

Wood Heat in Mooresville

Mooresville sits in growing zone 8a with a heating season that really only bites from around the first frost on November 5 through the last frost on April 8, but the piedmont humidity in between means green wood struggles to dry out on its own. Local hardwoods like red oak, hickory, and white oak are common around Iredell County, and all three need a real seasoning period before they burn clean. Wood that has not been properly seasoned tends to hiss, smoke, and leave creosote buildup in chimneys, which is a bigger problem here because of the muggy stretches between cold snaps. Our firewood is split and seasoned ahead of time so it lights easier and burns hotter through the shorter but still chilly Mooresville winter. Buying seasoned and local also means you are not fighting the region's clay soil drainage issues that keep stacked green wood wet longer than it would in a drier climate.

Local Hardwood Species

Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.

Seasoning and Moisture

Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.

Buy Local, Burn Local

Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Mooresville winter?

Most Mooresville households burning a few nights a week from November through early April go through about one to one and a half cords, while daily burners in a wood stove often use closer to two full cords over the season.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and stored, which matters in Mooresville because our humid summers slow down natural drying compared to drier climates, so unseasoned wood here can still be damp inside even if it looks dry on the outside.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Iredell County area, mainly oak and hickory, both of which burn long and hot once properly seasoned.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood cut and seasoned near Mooresville stays free of pests like the emerald ash borer that hitchhike in wood hauled long distances, so buying local and burning local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We dump your order loose at the driveway on the scheduled date, and stacking is on you, so plan on having a tarp or rack ready if rain is in the forecast.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is defined as 128 cubic feet stacked, 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood outdoors or in a fireplace?

Mooresville and Iredell County generally follow North Carolina open burning guidelines, so check local ordinances before burning brush or debris outdoors, though indoor fireplace and wood stove use is not restricted the same way.
