The price of a cord of oak firewood can vary significantly based on location, the type of oak (red or white), and whether it’s seasoned or green. Here’s a general breakdown for 2024:
- Seasoned oak firewood typically ranges between $275 and $500 per cord across the U.S. In some areas, like parts of Texas, the price might be lower, around $200 to $225 for a full cord, but in regions with less availability, like El Paso, it could rise to $340 to $360.
- Unseasoned (green) oak is usually cheaper, around $150 to $350, since it requires time to dry before burning efficiently.
- Delivery and stacking services may add $20 to $100 depending on how far the firewood needs to be transported.
These prices also tend to spike in the winter months, so buying earlier in the year can save money. Additionally, regional supply and demand play a large role, with hardwood like oak generally fetching a higher price due to its superior heat output and long burn time compared to softwoods.
