Firewood prices, county by county

Map of every U.S. county, shaded by our estimated price for a full cord of firewood, from $250 to $640. Each state's page lists the same prices county by county.
Each county is shaded by our price for one full cord. Prices come mostly from our model of climate and how many homes heat with wood, checked against state surveys and local prices where we have them. So the map shows the model's pattern, not prices we saw in each county.

Price per cord

  • Under $350 120 counties
  • $350–$374 525 counties
  • $375–$399 979 counties
  • $400–$424 817 counties
  • $425–$449 408 counties
  • $450 and up 295 counties

How this works

  1. What you get: a likely price range for one full cord (a stack 4 by 4 by 8 feet, 128 cubic feet) in your county, updated every month.
  2. How sure we are: each county says what its price rests on. Where we have few local prices, the range is wide.
  3. How to help: paid for a cord lately? Share what you paid. It makes the estimate more accurate for your neighbors.

Wood type, dryness and delivery distance still move the price, so get a quote or two.
