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.
Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Mount Sinai homes, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical heating season of occasional use, while daily wood burners should plan on two to three cords.
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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
Pairing your firewood order with mulch or topsoil from our Mount Sinai regional page is an easy way to prep garden beds before the ground freezes in mid November.
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Mount Sinai's damp coastal air keeps ground moisture high even in cooler months. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity does not undo your seasoning. A stack against a south facing wall gets extra drying benefit from sun exposure during shorter winter days.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from our local mix take a bit longer to catch than softer woods, so start fires with smaller kindling pieces before adding split logs. A simple moisture meter test on a freshly split face should read under 20 percent for a clean, efficient burn. If it reads higher, let that piece season a few more weeks before using it.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost typically arrives around November 15, since demand across Mount Sinai spikes hard once temperatures drop. Ordering in early fall also gives any slightly underseasoned splits extra weeks to dry out on your property before you need them for a cold night fire.
Wood Heat in Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai sits in Zone 7b on Long Island, with a heating season that typically runs from mid November through early April, giving homeowners nearly five months of cold nights to plan for. Coastal humidity here means unseasoned wood struggles to dry properly, so buying wood that has already been split and seasoned matters more than in drier inland climates. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common on Long Island properties and burn long and hot once their moisture content is brought down. Wood cut and left in Mount Sinai's damp air without proper seasoning can smolder, smoke, and coat chimneys with creosote. Starting the season with truly seasoned wood means fewer cold nights spent fighting a weak fire.
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.

Answer
How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Mount Sinai winter?
Most Mount Sinai households burning a few nights a week from November through early April use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord. Homeowners who rely on wood heat as a primary source often go through two to three full cords across the season.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has been dried down to a low moisture content, usually under 20 percent, after being cut and split. In Mount Sinai's humid coastal air, green wood dries slowly and can take a full year or more, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you from smoky, inefficient fires all winter.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Long Island, mainly oak, hickory, and hard maple, all sourced near Mount Sinai. These species are dense, burn long, and produce strong heat output once properly seasoned.
Answer
Is the firewood actually sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, our firewood comes from sources near Mount Sinai rather than being trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in transported logs and devastate local tree populations.
Answer
How does delivery work, do you stack the wood for me?
We deliver your order loose to the driveway on the scheduled date. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and time to move it to your storage area yourself.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, giving Mount Sinai homeowners flexible options depending on how much wood storage space and burning need they have.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Mount Sinai?
Suffolk County and New York State generally discourage open burning of debris, though contained residential fireplace and wood stove use is standard practice in Mount Sinai homes. It is worth checking with the Town of Brookhaven for any seasonal air quality advisories during particularly still, cold stretches of winter.
