Firewood costs vary dramatically by region, wood type, seasoning status, and delivery distance. Understanding typical price ranges helps you identify fair deals and avoid overpaying, though local market conditions ultimately determine what you’ll pay in your specific area.

As of 2025, a full cord of seasoned mixed hardwood typically costs $200-400 delivered in most U.S. regions. Rural areas with abundant forests often see lower prices ($150-250 per cord), while urban markets and areas with limited local wood supply can reach $400-500 or more per cord. These prices assume delivery within a reasonable distance, usually 10-20 miles from the supplier.

Premium hardwoods command higher prices. Seasoned oak, hickory, or black locust often costs $50-100 more per cord than mixed hardwood. Kiln-dried firewood represents the top price tier at $350-600 per cord, reflecting the energy and equipment costs of accelerated drying plus guaranteed low moisture content and pest-free status.

Green (unseasoned) wood costs substantially less, typically $100-200 per cord, since it requires 6-12 months of seasoning before use. While the upfront savings seem attractive, factor in your storage space, time, and whether you can wait for seasoning. Many buyers find paying extra for seasoned wood worthwhile to avoid the hassle.

Delivery fees range from free (included in cord price) to $50-100 depending on distance and supplier policies. Some sellers offer free delivery for minimum orders (2+ cords) but charge for single-cord delivery. Extended delivery distances beyond standard service areas typically add $1-2 per mile.

Stacking services, when offered, add $50-150 per cord to your total cost. This premium service saves significant physical labor but increases your overall expense considerably. Most budget-conscious buyers stack their own wood.

Seasonal pricing fluctuates predictably. Expect lowest prices in late winter and spring when demand drops. Prices rise steadily through summer and peak in fall/early winter when demand surges. The same cord that costs $250 in March might cost $350-400 in October.
