Firewood cord prices delivered and stacked
By My Yard Editorial Team · 7/28/2026
The Quick Answer
A full cord (4×4×8 ft, 128 cubic feet) runs $250–$500 delivered depending on species and region. Stacking adds $25–$75. A 'face cord' is one-third of that — know the difference.
The Witty Breakdown
The most common rip-off is selling a face cord or a truck-bed 'load' at full-cord pricing. Always buy by the cord and measure the stack.
Seasoned wood should read under 20% moisture, have cracked ends, and clunk rather than thud when knocked together.
Step-by-Step Fix
- 1
Ask for species — oak and hickory burn far longer than pine or poplar.
- 2
Confirm it's seasoned 6–12 months, not 'cut last month'.
- 3
Stack it before you pay, or measure the pile: 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft.
- 4
Store off the ground, covered on top, open on the sides.
Pro-Tip / Do Not Do This
Do not stack firewood against your house. That's a termite highway with a free front door.
