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.

Most San Antonio homes burning occasionally through the winter do fine with a quarter to half cord, while daily wood stove users should plan on a full cord to get through the season without running out.

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 your outdoor space for cooler weather, check out our mulch and soil options to protect garden beds from San Antonio's clay and caliche soil before the first frost hits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so San Antonio's humid air does not wick moisture up from below and undo the seasoning you paid for. Keep the stack loosely covered on top only, leaving the sides open so air can move through and dry out any rain that gets in during our sporadic winter showers.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mesquite lights fast and burns hot, making it a great choice for getting a fire going quickly, while oak and pecan are better for maintaining a steady bed of coals through a longer evening. Mixing a little mesquite in with your oak or pecan gives you quick ignition and lasting heat without needing extra kindling.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first real cold front pushes through in late November, since demand spikes fast once temperatures drop and delivery windows fill up. Buying a few weeks ahead also gives freshly split wood extra time to finish drying out in San Antonio's dry autumn air before you need it.

Wood Heat in San Antonio

San Antonio winters are short but they still bring enough chilly nights between late November and late February to make a good fire worth having. Our heating season here rarely stretches past ten or twelve weeks, so homeowners do not need a barn full of wood, they need the right amount of properly seasoned wood. Green or wet firewood struggles in our humid Gulf air because it never quite dries out between burns, which means more smoke, less heat, and gummed up creosote in the flue. We source seasoned Texas oak, mesquite, and pecan that has already dropped its moisture content before it reaches your driveway. These local hardwoods burn hot and steady, which matters when you only get a handful of truly cold nights each year and want every one of them to count. Buying wood that has already cured properly is the difference between a fire that crackles to life and one that hisses and smolders.

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 for a San Antonio winter?

Because our cold season runs roughly from late November to late February and rarely delivers extended hard freezes, most San Antonio households burning a few nights a week get through winter on a quarter to half cord. Folks who run a wood stove as a primary heat source or entertain around an outdoor fire pit often go through a full cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting until its internal moisture is low enough to burn cleanly. In our humid climate, green wood can take much longer to season on its own, so buying pre-seasoned wood saves you a smoky, low heat fire and cuts down on creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with my delivery?

Expect a mix of Texas hardwoods common to the Hill Country and South Texas brush country, mainly oak, mesquite, and pecan. Oak and pecan give you long, steady burns while mesquite lights easily and adds a distinct aroma that many San Antonio customers specifically ask for.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally?

Firewood cut and dried near San Antonio stays within its local pest population, which helps prevent the spread of invasive insects like the emerald ash borer that hitch rides in wood hauled long distances. Buying local and burning local protects the oak and pecan trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

Once you pick a cord size and delivery date, our truck brings the wood straight to your property and unloads it loose at the driveway. We do not stack it, so plan on having a tarp, rack, or covered spot ready if you want it off the ground and protected from rain.

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 about a third of that footprint, our third cord splits the difference, and our half cord gets you halfway to a full cord, so you can match the size to how much wood storage space and burning you actually plan on this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in San Antonio?

San Antonio occasionally issues ozone action day advisories during warmer months that ask residents to limit outdoor burning, though these mainly affect brush and yard waste burning rather than fireplace or fire pit use. It is always worth checking current Bexar County burn bans during dry spells before lighting an outdoor fire.
