For most New Bern homes, a half cord covers a season of regular but not constant burning, while a full cord suits those heating primarily with wood through the entire November to April window.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack, and keep it covered on top while leaving the sides open for airflow. New Bern's humid air means wood stacked directly on soil or fully tarped on all sides can reattract moisture even after seasoning, undoing months of drying. A simple lean to roof or tarp cover angled to shed rain works better than a sealed cover in our climate.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory burn longer and hotter, making them ideal for overnight coals on the coldest nights, while sweetgum lights faster and works well for kindling a fire before adding denser splits. Mixing species in your firebox lets you get a quick hot start followed by long lasting heat, which is especially useful during the sharp cold snaps that occasionally push through after our typical November 15 first frost.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall before the first frost hits, since demand climbs quickly once temperatures drop and supply of properly seasoned local hardwood tightens. Buying ahead of the November 15 average first frost gives you time to stack and settle your wood before you actually need it, rather than scrambling for delivery during the first genuine cold snap of the season.

Wood Heat in New Bern

New Bern winters are short by national standards, but coastal humidity off the Neuse and Trent rivers means unseasoned wood can stay damp for months longer than it would inland. Our woodstoves and fireplaces here typically run from mid November through early April, and that window closes fast once the last frost passes in early April. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and sweetgum need a full season or more of drying time before they burn clean, and skipping that step means more smoke, more creosote, and less heat for your money. Because our zone 8b climate holds moisture in the air even on cold nights, we season our wood longer than drier inland regions would require. Buying wood that has already been properly dried for this specific coastal climate means it lights faster and burns hotter on the cold snaps that do roll through.

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 does a typical New Bern winter actually take?

Most New Bern homeowners burning a few nights a week from mid November through early April go through a half cord to a full cord in a season. If you rely on wood heat as your primary source rather than just occasional evening fires, plan closer to a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried long enough for the internal moisture to drop to a burnable level, typically under 20 percent. In our humid coastal climate, freshly cut wood can take well over a year to reach that point, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a full heating season of waiting and gives you cleaner, hotter fires right away.

Answer

What types of wood will I get with a New Bern delivery?

Our loads are a mix of local hardwoods common to the coastal plain, including oak, hickory, and sweetgum. These species are dense enough to burn long and hot, which matters when you are trying to get through a cold snap without constantly feeding the stove.

Answer

Why is it important that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because moving wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. Our wood is sourced locally near New Bern, which keeps it fresh for delivery and helps protect the region's tree cover.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

Once you choose a cord size and delivery date, our truck brings the wood directly to your address and unloads it loose in the driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on some time to move and stack it yourself once the load arrives.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your 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 roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half the stack, so you can size your order to match how much wood storage space or burning you actually need this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood in New Bern?

Craven County and the city of New Bern generally allow residential wood burning in stoves and fireplaces without a permit, but open burning of debris is more restricted, especially during dry or high pollen advisory days. Check with local fire authorities if you are ever unsure about outdoor burning versus indoor stove use.
