What changes the price
- Species: oak, hickory, and maple cost more than pine or poplar because they burn longer.
- Seasoning: kiln-dried wood costs more than air-seasoned; green wood costs least but won't burn well this year.
- Distance and quantity: delivery costs about the same for a half or full cord, so a full cord is cheaper per cubic foot.
- Stacking: usually an add-on fee.
Common questions
How much is a cord of firewood?
Most full cords (128 cubic feet, stacked) sell for $250–$500 delivered, depending on state, species, and seasoning. See the state table for published local prices.
How much is a half cord of firewood?
A half cord is 64 cubic feet, stacked. It usually costs 55–65% of a full cord price, because delivery costs about the same either way.
Why does kiln-dried firewood cost more?
Kiln drying takes fuel and equipment time, and the wood burns hotter with less smoke. Expect to pay roughly 30–50% more than seasoned wood.
Does stacking cost extra?
Usually. Stacking is often $50–$100 per cord. Ours is $69 for a half cord and $99 for a full cord.
