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.
Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For steady wood stove heating through Morristown's October to April cold season, plan on three to four full cords. For occasional fireplace use, a half cord to a full cord is typically plenty.
What is a 1/4 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/3 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/2 Cord?
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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
While you are prepping for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for fall bed cleanup, or bulk stone for a stable base under your new woodpile before the ground gets soft with spring rain.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack to keep it away from Morristown's damp soil, and leave gaps between rows so air can move through. Cover just the top with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile, since fully sealed wood traps humidity and slows seasoning even for wood that arrived already dry.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory both make excellent overnight coal beds thanks to their density, but they take longer to catch than lighter woods. Start your fire with smaller kindling pieces and add split oak or hickory once you have solid flame, so you get a long, steady burn through cold East Tennessee nights without babysitting the stove.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost typically hits around October 22. Waiting until temperatures actually drop means competing with every other household in Morristown for delivery slots, and any wood that has not fully seasoned yet will not have time to dry properly before you need it burning hot.
Wood Heat in Morristown
Morristown sits at about 1,309 feet in growing zone 7b, which means a heating season that typically runs from mid October through mid April, bracketed by a first frost around October 22 and a last frost around April 15. That is a long stretch of cold nights when a wood stove or fireplace insert gets real daily use. East Tennessee humidity slows down the drying process, so wood that has not been properly seasoned can sit in a rack looking ready while still holding too much internal moisture. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple need a full six to twelve months of seasoning in our climate to burn clean and hot. Buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a full year of waiting and keeps your chimney safer from creosote buildup caused by burning green wood.
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

Answer
How much firewood does a typical Morristown winter actually use?
A household using a wood stove as a main heat source through our roughly six month heating season, October to April, often burns three to four full cords. If wood is just for supplemental heat or occasional evening fires, a half cord to a full cord usually gets you through comfortably.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried enough to burn efficiently, usually below 20 percent moisture content. With Morristown's humid summers, green wood can take six to twelve months to reach that point, so buying pre seasoned wood means you are not stuck burning smoky, hard to light logs on the first cold night of the year.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get with a Morristown delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of East Tennessee, primarily oak, hickory, and hard maple, all known for dense, long burning coals that hold heat well through cold overnight stretches.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced near Morristown, and does that matter?
Yes, our wood is cut and split locally rather than trucked in from other regions. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so keeping wood local protects the hardwood stands around Morristown for years to come.
Answer
How does delivery to my house actually work?
You choose your cord size, pick a delivery date, and we dump the load loose at your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan for some time and space to move it into a rack or covered pile.
Answer
What is a rick and how does that compare to your cord sizes?
Around East Tennessee, a lot of folks ask for a rick, which usually refers to a stack that is one row deep, four feet high, and eight feet long, roughly a third of a full cord. Our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options line up closely with what most people mean by a rick, so if that is the term you grew up with, our third cord is typically the closest match.
Answer
How is a full cord actually measured?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, and the full cord is the entire 128 cubic foot stack.
