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.

This was the easiest process to purchase mulch! It arrived on time and the driver did an amazing job putting it exactly where I wanted it. I will be a return customer for sure.

For most Waco homes, a third cord to a half cord covers a normal heating season, while frequent burners or those heating primarily with wood should order a full 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for cooler weather, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Waco area page to protect garden beds through the region's mild but sometimes dry winter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack to keep it away from Waco's clay soil, which holds moisture after rain and can wick dampness back into split logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity does not get trapped underneath a full tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns slow and steady, making it ideal for overnight fires, while pecan lights faster and throws good heat for shorter evening burns. If you are unsure whether a piece is dry enough, knock two pieces together, seasoned wood makes a sharp crack rather than a dull thud.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood before the first real cold front hits, usually in late October or early November, since demand spikes quickly once nighttime temperatures drop below 40 degrees. Ordering early also means better selection of cord sizes before local supply tightens up during peak winter weeks.

Wood Heat in Waco

Waco winters are short but they still bring enough cold snaps between mid November and mid March to make a reliable wood supply worth planning for. Central Texas humidity means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out on its own, so buying wood that has already been properly seasoned matters more here than in drier climates. Local oak and pecan, common around McLennan County, need months of low moisture conditions before they burn clean, and our blackland clay soil and muggy air slow that process if you try to season your own. Seasoned hardwood lights easier, produces more heat, and creates far less creosote buildup in your chimney during our shorter but often damp cold spells. Because our heating season is compressed into a few months, having dry wood ready from the first frost matters more than stockpiling for a long winter.

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 typical Waco winter?

Most Waco households burning a few nights a week from mid November through mid March use somewhere between a quarter cord and a half cord. If you run a wood stove as a primary heat source or entertain outdoors often, a full cord is a safer bet given our unpredictable cold snaps.

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, typically under 20 percent, instead of being freshly cut. In our humid Central Texas air, green wood struggles to dry properly once it is at your house, so buying wood that was already seasoned before delivery saves you a smoky, hard to light fire.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Waco delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Texas, mainly oak and pecan, both known for solid heat output and a slower, longer burn than softer woods.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced near Waco rather than trucked in from out of state. Keeping firewood local prevents the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which travel in firewood and can devastate regional tree populations if wood crosses long distances.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a drop off window, and the wood is delivered loose to your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage spot yourself or with help.

Answer

What is 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 is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to your fireplace usage without overbuying.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Waco?

Waco does not currently enforce a formal wood burning ban, but during periods of poor air quality in Central Texas it is worth checking local advisories before large outdoor burns, especially on still, humid days when smoke lingers close to the ground.
