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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

Primary heat users in Nesconset typically need 3 to 4 full cords to cover the roughly five month heating season, while occasional fireplace users often do fine with a half cord to one 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for the Nesconset heating season, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or topsoil from our regional page to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack to keep it away from Nesconset's sandy loam moisture, and cover only the top with a tarp so air can still move through the sides. Leaving the sides open prevents trapped humidity from undoing the seasoning work already done, which is especially important during our damp fall stretch before the first frost typically hits around November 1.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak, one of the most common species in your delivery, benefits from a slightly larger kindling base since it takes longer to catch than softer woods. Start with smaller ash pieces to build coals quickly, then add split oak once the fire is established for a longer, steadier burn through cold Long Island nights.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall, well before the first frost around November 1, since seasoned hardwood supply tightens up once temperatures drop and everyone on Long Island is scrambling at once. Ordering early also gives you time to stack and organize a full cord or larger delivery before the ground gets cold and hard to work with.

Wood Heat in Nesconset

Nesconset sits in zone 7b with a heating season that typically stretches from that first November frost through mid April, meaning many households are feeding a wood stove or fireplace for close to five months. Long Island's humid summers and damp falls mean freshly cut wood needs real time to season properly, otherwise it hisses and smokes instead of throwing heat. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood, mostly oak and locally common species like ash and maple, cut and split well ahead of delivery so the moisture content is low enough to burn clean. In a sandy loam region like Nesconset with unpredictable coastal humidity, buying wood that has already had its seasoning time built in saves homeowners from a winter of frustrating fires. That head start matters most in the coldest stretch of January and February when you need consistent, hot burns, not smoldering green logs.

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 actually need to get through a Nesconset winter?

For a typical Nesconset heating season running from the first frost around November 1 through mid April, most homeowners using a wood stove as a primary heat source burn 3 to 4 full cords. If firewood is more of a supplemental or occasional fireplace habit, a half cord to one cord often covers the season comfortably.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried, usually for six months to a year, until its internal moisture drops low enough to burn efficiently. It matters a lot on Long Island because our humid summers and damp autumns slow natural drying, so wood that has not been properly seasoned tends to smoke, spark, and produce far less heat.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Nesconset delivery?

Expect a mix of dense local hardwoods, primarily oak along with ash and maple, all sourced from the immediate area rather than trucked in from far away. These species are common throughout Suffolk County and are known for long, steady burns once properly seasoned.

Answer

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

Firewood should always be bought and burned near where it was cut because moving it long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Sourcing locally near Nesconset protects the region's remaining ash trees and other hardwoods from infestations that hitch a ride in transported logs.

Answer

How is a cord actually measured, and how do your smaller sizes compare?

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 roughly a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, and the half cord half the stack, so you can size your order to your stove, your storage space, or how much of the season you need to cover.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to your driveway at a spot you choose, but stacking is not included, so plan on setting aside some time to move it to your woodpile or rack. Most Nesconset customers find a wheelbarrow and an afternoon gets a half cord or full cord order stacked without much trouble.

Answer

Is there anything I should know about local burn rules or air quality in Nesconset?

Suffolk County encourages residents to burn only well seasoned, dry hardwood rather than green or treated wood, since smoky fires from wet wood contribute more to local air quality complaints, especially on damp, low wind days common to Long Island winters. Burning our properly seasoned wood helps keep your chimney cleaner and your smoke output lower for neighbors nearby.
