How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For Bethpage's roughly five month heating season, occasional burners typically need a quarter to half cord, while regular wood heat users should plan on one to two full cords delivered before the first frost.
What is a 1/4 Cord?
A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.
What is a 1/3 Cord?
A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.
What is a 1/2 Cord?
A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

While you are prepping for winter, check out our mulch and stone options sourced for Bethpage's sandy loam soil to protect garden beds through the same frost season that brings the cold your firewood is meant for.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack to keep it away from Long Island's damp soil, and leave gaps between rows for airflow. A simple top cover, like a tarp or lean to roof, keeps rain and snow off without trapping humidity underneath, which is especially important given how much moisture our coastal air holds compared to drier regions inland.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak burns slow and steady, making it ideal for overnight coals, while ash lights faster and works well for getting a fire going quickly on a cold Bethpage evening. Mixing species in one fire, starting with ash and adding oak once it is established, gives you a quick start and a longer lasting heat output through the night.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your seasonal supply in late summer or early fall, well before Bethpage's first frost typically hits around November 15. Ordering early not only guarantees availability before the winter rush but also gives any less dry splits extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you actually need them burning hot.
Wood Heat in Bethpage
Bethpage sits in growing zone 7b with a heating season that typically runs from mid November through early April, meaning Long Island homeowners need dry, dense fuel that lights easily in damp Nassau County air. Local oak, ash, and hickory are the backbone of our supply, all species that grow throughout Long Island and burn hot and long once properly dried. Our sandy loam soil and humid coastal climate mean freshly cut wood holds moisture longer than in drier inland regions, so skipping the seasoning process here leads to smoky, low heat fires and heavy creosote buildup. We season our hardwood down to burn ready moisture levels before it ever reaches your driveway. With frost typically arriving by November 15 and lingering until April 1, Bethpage households often need a full heating season worth of fuel on hand before the cold settles in. Buying wood that has already dried properly is the difference between a fireplace that struggles and one that throws real heat on a January night.
Local Hardwood Species
Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.
Seasoning and Moisture
Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.
Buy Local, Burn Local
Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.
Frequently Asked Questions

Answer
How much firewood does a typical Bethpage house need to get through winter?
Most Bethpage homes that burn a few nights a week from November through early April use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord per season, while households heating primarily with wood often go through one and a half to two cords given our roughly five month cold stretch.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and stored, which matters especially on Long Island because our humid coastal air slows natural drying compared to drier inland climates, so unseasoned wood here can take a full year or more to burn cleanly.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Nassau County, primarily oak, ash, and hickory, all of which season well in our climate and produce a long, steady burn once properly dried.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced near Bethpage, and does that matter?
Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Bethpage rather than trucked in from other regions, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from town to town.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
We drop your order loose in the driveway at the scheduled time, and since stacking is not included, we recommend having a tarp or pallet ready so you can move it into a dry stacking spot before the next rain.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord about 32 cubic feet.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Bethpage?
Nassau County occasionally issues air quality advisories on especially still, cold winter days, so it is worth checking local advisories before a long burn and always using dry, seasoned wood since it produces far less smoke and particulate than green or wet wood.
