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 most Shirley homes using wood heat a few nights a week, a half cord covers the season comfortably, while daily burners heating through our full six month cold season should plan on a full 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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Long Island's damp coastal air does not wick moisture back up into split faces you already paid to dry. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, not the sides, so wind can still pull humidity away. A stack pushed flush against a fence or wall traps moisture and can undo months of seasoning by spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Test a split log by knocking two pieces together. Well seasoned oak or hickory gives a sharp, hollow crack, while damp wood sounds dull and thudding. If you are unsure, split a piece open and check the end grain, seasoned wood shows checking cracks radiating outward and feels noticeably lighter than a green piece of the same size.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order ahead of Shirley's November 1 average first frost rather than waiting for the first genuinely cold night. Wood suppliers across Long Island get busy fast once temperatures drop, and ordering early gives your delivery time to finish drying in your own stack before you need to rely on it for real heat.

Wood Heat in Shirley

Shirley sits at the eastern edge of Long Island in zone 7a, with a heating season that runs from the first frost around November 1 through the last frost near April 20, nearly six months of cold, damp weather blowing in off the Atlantic. That marine humidity means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out on its own, so firewood that has already been properly seasoned before it reaches your driveway makes a real difference in how easily your fires start and how much heat you actually get. Our wood comes from local oak, ash, and hickory sourced near Shirley, species that split cleanly and burn long and hot once dried down. Sandy Suffolk County soil drains fast, but the coastal air keeps moisture in the atmosphere, which is exactly why we age our wood before delivery instead of leaving that job to you. For a Long Island winter with damp cold snaps and occasional nor'easters, dry, dense hardwood is not a luxury, it is what keeps a woodstove or fireplace performing through January and February.

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 Shirley winter?

Households burning as a supplemental heat source for occasional evening fires from November through April often use a quarter to a half cord across the season. Homes relying on wood as a primary heat source through our full six month cold stretch, especially with the damp chill coming off the water, typically go through one to two full cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried long enough to drop its internal moisture significantly before it ever gets to you. In Shirley's humid coastal air, green wood dries slowly and can smolder and smoke instead of burning clean, so starting with properly seasoned hardwood is what lets you get real heat output even on a raw, damp February night.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Shirley delivery?

Expect a mix of local oak, ash, and hickory sourced near Shirley. These are dense hardwoods that hold a coal bed well and give a long, steady burn, which suits the extended heating season Long Island sees between our first and last frost dates.

Answer

Is this wood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Shirley rather than trucked in from far away. Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, and Long Island's tree canopy is worth protecting from that risk.

Answer

How does delivery work once I place an order?

You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery date, and we bring the wood right to your driveway. It arrives loose rather than stacked, so you will want to have your storage area ready to go before the truck shows up.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter, third, half, and full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 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, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space you have and how much heat you expect to need this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about burning wood in Shirley?

Suffolk County occasionally issues air quality advisories on especially still, cold days, so it is worth checking local notices before a big burn day and making sure your chimney and stove are in good working order to minimize smoke output, particularly on days with poor air circulation near the coast.
