About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

For a typical Long Branch heating season running late October through late April, plan on a half cord for occasional use or a full cord if wood heat is your primary source.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

If you are refreshing garden beds or driveway borders before winter sets in, pair your firewood order with mulch or decorative stone suited to Long Branch's sandy loam soil for a finished outdoor space.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack, since Long Branch's coastal humidity keeps moisture near the soil surface longer than inland areas. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow so trapped moisture doesn't work its way back into your seasoned wood. A stack pushed against a fence or garage wall dries slower, so leave a few inches of gap for air movement.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both take longer to catch but throw steady, long lasting heat once going, so use a few smaller ash splits as kindling to get your fire established first. A quick moisture check with an inexpensive meter should read near 20 percent or lower on a fresh split face, confirming the wood is truly ready to burn rather than just dry on the outside.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the late October frost arrives, since delivery windows fill up fast once Long Branch homeowners start thinking about the coming cold. Ordering early also gives your stack extra weeks to finish drying out in your own yard before you need it for the first real cold snap.

Wood Heat in Long Branch

Long Branch winters run from late October frost through late April, giving Monmouth County homeowners a heating season of roughly six months. The Jersey Shore's coastal humidity means firewood that isn't properly seasoned stays wet inside and burns poorly, smoking up chimneys and wasting heat. Our wood is seasoned well ahead of delivery so the moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash hold up well against the damp salt air common to Long Branch and burn hot and long once dried out properly. Buying wood that's already gone through a proper seasoning process matters more here than inland because our humidity slows down natural drying if you try to season green wood yourself. That is why we deliver only seasoned, split, ready to burn hardwood to Long Branch homes.

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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much firewood do I need to get through a Long Branch winter?

With our frost window running from late October to late April, most Long Branch homes burning a few nights a week get through the season on a half cord to a full cord. Homeowners who rely on wood heat daily typically go through one to two full cords, especially during the coldest stretches of January and February.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here?

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a proper burnable moisture level instead of being cut and split green. In Long Branch's humid coastal air, green wood dries very slowly on its own, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a season of frustration with smoky, hard to light fires.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Monmouth County area, mainly oak, hickory, and ash, all split and seasoned for solid heat output and a longer, steadier burn than softer woods.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally near Long Branch?

Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because hauling it long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. Our wood is sourced locally near Long Branch, so you get seasoned hardwood without contributing to the spread of tree killing insects into Jersey Shore woodlands.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

Once you choose your cord size and schedule a delivery date, we bring the wood directly to your Long Branch driveway and unload it loose. Stacking isn't included, so plan for some time to move and stack it wherever you plan to store it.

Answer

What is a cord and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measured as 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is about a quarter of that volume, our third cord is roughly a third, and our half cord is half a full cord, so you can size your order to match your fireplace use without overbuying.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Long Branch?

Monmouth County occasionally issues air quality advisories during stagnant winter conditions, so it's worth checking local notices on high pollution days before lighting an outdoor fire. Using well seasoned hardwood instead of green or wet wood also helps reduce smoke output, which is better for you and your neighbors regardless of any advisory.
