Firewood FAQ

  • What is the difference between seasoned, Semi-Seasoned, and Kiln dried firewood?
    • Seasoned Firewood: This wood has been cut and allowed to air dry for an extended period, usually at 12 months. The moisture content is typically around 30%+ or lower, making it easier to ignite and burn more efficiently, producing more heat and less smoke.
    • Semi-Seasoned Firewood: This wood is partially dried but hasn't reached the optimal moisture content of seasoned wood. Typically, 0-3 months in age. It may still burn, but not as efficiently as fully seasoned wood, potentially producing more smoke and less heat.
    • Kiln-Dried Firewood: This wood has been dried in a kiln, a controlled environment that speeds up the drying process. Kiln-dried firewood generally has a moisture content of around 6% to 12%, making it ready to burn immediately. It tends to ignite easily and burns very efficiently, with minimal smoke.

    • In summary, the key differences lie in the drying process and moisture content, which affect how well the wood burns.

  • Do the prices include delivery?
    • No, delivery is calculated based on your zip code when checking out. 
  • I ordered bags (1/2 or full-face cord) when can I expect my delivery?
    • We supply many commercial accounts as was residential. We route our bag truck as follows:
      • WEST, from Sagtikos parkway to NYC, is routed to be delivered Monday/Tuesday

      • East, from William Floyd Pkwy to Montauk/Orient, Thursday/Friday. 
    • The schedule above may change depending on volume of orders in an area. 
  • How much wood is a full cord? 
    • 4x4x8 or 128 cubic feet. The unit of measurement, Cord, is a volume measurement. To calculate how much wood you could store you must measure Length x Height x Width. 
  • How big are the pieces of wood?
    • The wood is cut 14"-21" with an average size of 16"-18". Since it is machine cut and split you may get some larger partially split or unsplit pieces. 
  • What kind of wood is it? 
    • The firewood consists of mixed hardwoods. 
  • What is the difference between a Face Cord (50 bags) and a Full Cord (Bulk)

    • The terms "face cord" and "full cord" refer to measurements of firewood.

      **Face Cord**: A face cord is typically a stack of firewood that measures 4 feet high, 8 feet long, and is filled with wood that is cut to a standard length (usually 16 inches). However, the actual volume of wood can vary depending on how tightly the wood is stacked. Typically, a face cord is 1/3 of a full cord. 

      **Full Cord**: A full cord is a standard unit of measurement for firewood, which measures 4 feet high, 4 feet wide, and 8 feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet of space. A full cord contains more wood than a face cord, as it is denser and requires more space.

      When purchasing firewood, it’s important to know these differences to ensure you're getting the right amount for your needs!
