I know this is a yearly question but suppliers vary year to year.
I'm in Houston and have called Katy Firewood and the Firewood Connection . They want $250-$300 for what they call a "half cord" 4'x8'x16-18" logs. If you do the math that's 1.5'x4'x8' or about 48 cubic feet, slightly over 1/3 cord, a full cord being 128 cubic. Ft. (4'x4'x8'). At those prices you'd be looking at $660-$800 per full cord.
Not worth arguing on the merits of what an actual 1/2 cord is. If they can sell it that's all that matters.
I think there is a supplier outside College Station that sells by truck bed loads but there is a big difference in a neatly stacked pickup load vs. just throwing a pile in a truck.
Sorry for long post. Just trying to get the most for my $$.
Any suggestions? I'm willing to drive 1-2 hours.
Thanks!!

I know a few guys in the Katy area that buy all of their firewood at Nalesnik's landscaping. They sell in 1/4 cord increments (I think). I don't know if they're the "best deal in town" or not, but they seem to be pleased with the price and the availability.

Did you check the wood chop? Up on 290 in Houston

Thanks, I will.

My son is at TAMU. If there is anything in College Station he can also pickup a 1/4 in his truck & bring home for Thanksgiving

Used to buy from here when iived down that way. Good prices, but they called a "1/4" cord just one full row in my pickup. I used to argue w them on it but their prices were always good.

I have found that asking them for a price on a 4 foot x 8 foot stack is the best way to shop, while having a fixed quantity to compare. I completely ignore them when they start talking about "cords". You can also price out a 4 foot by 4 foot stack.

Do you want it split or just logs? I have a lot of oak firewood near Rockdale that I could bring back to Katy with me this Sunday.

Give me a call

Not sure if you want to commute all the way to DFW but there is a really good guy up here that will sell you a pickup truck bed load for $140. He helps you load it, makes sure it's stacked nice and full and will keep throwing the logs on until you tell him to stop. Let me know if you want his info.

Send him to my place with a chainsaw. He can take all he wants if he is willing to cut it up. FREE. I have ~10 oak trees that are dead, but still standing.

Serious offer. 979-220-0004.

For those who may have used Dwayne and Angel Muzny for firewood in the past, looks like they have a rough road ahead of them.

Dwayne Muzny Benefit

holy crap that's terrible.

Not to be rude, but dead trees are free. Find a land owner that needs some help and get some free wood.

Never done business with him and wouldn't know him from Adam, but that's a terrible situation to be in. Donated.

Not here to discuss prices but I'll tell you that after years of using oak firewood, we got a half-cord of hickory this year and I'm not sure I can go back to oak for the main fireplace in the house. The hickory is so dense: burns almost twice as long, better heat generation, makes better coals/embers. It was pricier but I feel like the value is there.

Used two different folks here in Dallas this winter. Not overly thrilled with either, other than they were on the low end of price. One supplied really green wood, the other shorted me.

Wife has been asking for fires pretty much any time possible, so might need more soon.

Anyone want to come cut some post oak?

In laws have a place with a lot of post oaks down.

I wasn't really happy with what I had delivered this year. Price seemed nice ($200 delivered cord) but a lot of wood had rotted areas, and lots of signs of previous infestation. The wood burns fine, but is ugly, uneven, and you certainly wouldn't want to keep any in the house. No doubt the guy was hired to remove dead/downed trees for someone and is selling the result. I don't have a problem with that, but just expected "nicer". First time having wood delivered.

San Antonio area.

Had to restock. Based on cmp's post and my general dissatisfaction with the wood I have purchased (supposedly oak) this year, I bought a 1/2 cord of hickory from Higgins firewood. Paid a little more, but this stuff is awesome. Burns sooooo much better. I'm sold forever.

I found a guy that will deliver to Katy and have ordered from him the last 3-4 years. His price hasn't fluctuated much and it's less than if I were to pick it up myself at other places https://houston.craigslist.org/grd/d/katy-oak-firewood-seasoned-180-half/7065138010.html

I did notice a place at the corner of Mason and Franz while taking my daughter to Vball last week that I want to check out. Looks like a taqueria/food truck is the main business, but they had a sign stating firewood for sale out front, and a ton of split logs stacked along the road.
