How Many Satchels for a Wooden Wall?
3 satchels
3 Satchels destroys a Wooden Wall (250 HP), from either side. That's 1,440 sulfur once you count the gunpowder, and about 24s to place.
Incendiary Rocket is cheaper for this.
1× Incendiary Rocket costs 300 sulfur against 1,440 for 3 Satchels — a difference of 1,140 sulfur per a Wooden Wall. If you've already got the Satchels, use them; if you're farming from scratch, don't.
What 3 Satchels costs
These are full craft costs — the sulfur figure includes everything that goes into the gunpowder, which is why it's bigger than the recipe on the item page suggests. Sulfur is the number that actually matters, because it's the thing you farm.

Are Satchels the cheapest way to raid a Wooden Wall?expand_more
No. Incendiary Rocket is cheaper on sulfur for this target — 1× costs 300 sulfur versus 1,440 for 3 Satchels. That said, cheapest isn't always right: Satchels may be faster to place or already in your base, and sulfur you've already farmed is a sunk cost.

About 24s of placement time for 3 — that's the deploy time, not the farming. The farming is the real cost, and it's why people check this number before they commit.
Amounts come from the same sourced raid chart as our raid calculator and every /raid/ page, so they can't disagree with each other — verified for the Livestock wipe. Deployables and external walls are approximate; always test on your own server build. Sulfur includes the full gunpowder chain.
