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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For a typical Roswell heating season, a half cord covers occasional use while a full cord suits households relying on wood heat several nights a week through the coldest stretch.

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're prepping for winter, check out our mulch and stone options for Roswell yards, ideal for insulating garden beds and managing our sandy loam soil before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off bare ground on pallets or a raised rack so airflow can pass underneath, since Roswell's sandy loam holds moisture near the surface after rare rains. Cover only the top of the stack, leaving the sides open, because full tarps trap humidity and slow seasoning even in our dry climate. A stack near a south facing wall gets extra sun exposure that helps keep wood dry through the winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mesquite burns hot and dense with a distinct aroma, great for overnight coal beds, while cottonwood lights easily but burns faster, making it a good option for quick evening fires. Mixing species lets you control burn time and heat output depending on the night. A quick moisture check, listening for a hollow knock or seeing bark that flakes off easily, tells you the wood is ready.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first frost hits around November 4, since demand climbs fast once nighttime temperatures drop. Buying early also means your wood has more time sitting dry in your storage area before you need it most, rather than scrambling for delivery during a cold snap in December or January.

Wood Heat in Roswell

Roswell winters run from around the first frost on November 4 through the last frost on March 29, which adds up to a real heating season even though days can warm up fast under our high desert sun. Our dry Chihuahuan climate and sandy loam ground actually help firewood season well, but wood cut too close to burn time can still carry too much internal moisture to burn clean at 3,570 feet elevation. Locally available hardwoods like mesquite, cottonwood, and some oak give Roswell burners good coal beds and steady heat once properly dried. Because humidity here is low most of the year, well split rounds stored off the ground season faster than in muggy climates, but wind driven dust means covered storage still matters. Buying wood that has already been seasoned saves you a full year of waiting and guesswork. For a place with big day to night temperature swings, having dependable dry wood on hand through those cold desert nights makes a real difference.

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 I actually need to get through a Roswell winter?

Most Roswell households that burn a few nights a week for supplemental heat use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord across the season, from the November 4 first frost through the March 29 last frost. If wood heat is your primary source through those cold desert nights, plan closer to a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content instead of being cut and split green. In our dry climate that process happens faster than in humid regions, but green wood still smokes heavily, burns cooler, and gums up chimneys, so we only deliver wood that is already split and ready to burn.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods sourced near Roswell, commonly mesquite, cottonwood, and oak, all chosen for solid heat output and good coal formation in fireplaces and wood stoves.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned because hauling wood long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. Sourcing near Roswell keeps our local trees healthier and keeps your fires burning clean.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to your driveway. Stacking isn't included, so we recommend having your storage spot cleared and ready before the truck arrives.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractional portions of that same stacked volume, so you can match your purchase to how much storage space and burning you actually plan to do this season.

Answer

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

Chaves County occasionally issues burn advisories during dry, windy stretches, so it's worth checking local notices before large outdoor fires, though seasoned firewood used in an enclosed fireplace or stove is generally the cleanest burning option for everyday home heating.
