How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For a typical Nacogdoches winter of occasional fires, a quarter to half cord usually covers you, while daily wood burners should order a full cord to avoid running short before the last frost in March.
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. 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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish.

Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

While you are prepping your property for the cooler months, consider topping off beds with mulch or stone from our Nacogdoches material lineup to help manage moisture in our sandy loam soil through the winter.
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, with the bark side up to shed rain, since Nacogdoches's humid air and frequent winter rain can wick moisture back into wood sitting directly on soil. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity does not undo your seasoning.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak burns long and steady but takes longer to catch, while hickory lights a bit easier and throws strong heat, so many Nacogdoches households mix the two, using hickory kindling-adjacent splits to get a fire going before adding oak for the overnight burn. A quick knock test, listening for a hollow crack rather than a dull thud, can help you judge if a split is properly dry.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost, typically mid November here, since seasoned wood supply tightens once temperatures drop and everyone in Nacogdoches is calling at once. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly green splits extra weeks to dry out in our warm air before you actually need them.
Wood Heat in Nacogdoches
Nacogdoches sits in zone 8b, so our heating season is short but damp, running roughly from the first frost around November 15 to the last frost near March 15. That humid East Texas air means wood that looks dry on the outside can still be holding moisture inside, and green wood in a sandy loam yard will smolder, smoke, and coat your chimney with creosote instead of throwing real heat. Properly seasoned oak and hickory, the two hardwoods most common in the Piney Woods around Nacogdoches, need months of airflow to drop their moisture content low enough to burn hot and clean. Because our winters are mild compared to points north, homeowners here often burn less total wood but still need it fully dried, since a handful of cold snaps a season is exactly when you want a fire that lights fast and burns even. Buying wood that has already seasoned properly for our climate saves you from smoky evenings and a dirty flue.
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 do we actually need for a Nacogdoches winter?
Our cold season runs roughly mid November to mid March, and most Nacogdoches households burning a few evenings a week get through winter on a half cord to a full cord. If you rely on wood heat as your main source rather than occasional fires, plan closer to a full cord or more.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried for months until its internal moisture drops well below what freshly cut, or green, wood holds. In our humid East Texas climate, unseasoned wood burns cooler, smokes more, and builds creosote faster, so seasoned wood is especially important if you want a clean, efficient fire.
Answer
What kind of wood will I get delivered?
Expect a mix of local East Texas hardwoods, primarily oak and hickory, both of which are dense, burn long, and put out solid heat once properly seasoned.
Answer
Is this wood actually cut near Nacogdoches?
Yes, our firewood is sourced locally near Nacogdoches. Buying local matters because hauling firewood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new forests, so we keep our wood close to where it will be burned.
Answer
How does delivery work, and do you stack it?
We deliver your order loose to the driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on an hour or two to get it moved to your storage spot before the next rain rolls in.
Answer
What is a cord, and how do your smaller sizes compare?
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 is a third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can size your order to your fireplace and how much wood you burn each winter.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning firewood I should know about?
Nacogdoches does not run a formal daily air quality burn ban program like some larger Texas metros, but during extended dry spells the county can issue burn restrictions, so it is worth checking with local officials before any outdoor burning, even though indoor fireplace and wood stove use is typically unaffected.
