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.

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!

For a typical Stony Brook heating season running November through April, plan on a half cord for occasional use and up to two full cords for daily wood stove heating.

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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Stony Brook, New York

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Long Island's damp soil and snowmelt do not wick moisture back into the wood. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so humidity can escape rather than getting trapped and encouraging mold during our wetter winter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local hardwoods like oak and hickory burn slow and hot, great for overnight coals, while maple lights faster and works well for building an initial fire. Mixing species in your firebox lets you get a quick, hot start from maple, then bank the fire with oak or hickory to hold heat through a long Stony Brook cold snap.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost around November 5, since demand across Long Island spikes once temperatures drop and supply of properly seasoned local hardwood tightens. Buying early also gives your wood extra time to finish drying in your own storage area before you need it for steady winter burning.

Wood Heat in Stony Brook

Stony Brook winters run long, with a heating season stretching from the first frost around November 5 through the last frost near April 15, meaning many households are burning wood for five months or more. Long Island's humid air makes unseasoned wood a real problem, green logs simply do not dry fast enough here to burn clean before you need them. Our firewood is seasoned in advance so it burns hot and steady instead of smoldering and smoking in your fireplace or wood stove. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and red maple, common across Suffolk County woodlots, hold up well through a Stony Brook winter and give you longer, more consistent burn times. Because our supply is sourced near Stony Brook, it has had proper time to dry down to a safe moisture level for this region's climate, not a climate hundreds of miles away.

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 will I actually need to get through a Stony Brook winter?

Most Stony Brook households burning a few nights a week from November through April go through a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood stove users often need one and a half to two full cords across the season.

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 over time, which matters a lot on Long Island because our humid air slows natural drying, so unseasoned wood bought locally may still smoke and hiss instead of burning cleanly.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Stony Brook delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and red maple, all common species sourced from around Suffolk County that season well and produce strong, long lasting heat.

Answer

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

Firewood moved long distances can carry invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas, so keeping our supply local to Stony Brook protects area trees and follows the buy local burn local principle foresters recommend.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We drop your seasoned hardwood loose in your driveway on the scheduled date, and stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage area yourself or with help.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the quarter, third, and half cord options compare?

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 fractional portions of that same stacked volume, giving Stony Brook homeowners flexibility based on how much storage space or burning they plan for.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood in Stony Brook?

Suffolk County and New York State air quality guidance generally discourages burning during poor air quality advisory days, so it is worth checking local advisories, especially on still, cold winter nights when smoke can settle near homes.
