It's very, very tough to find a reputable firewood dealer on LI. Expecting seasoned wood is a pipe dream. Been there, done that.
Best you can do is hope that the dealer also doesn't short you on the quantity. Tell him that you only will accept hardwood, and that a cord is 4x4x8 and you expect to get what you paid for. Then, get it delivered in early spring and season it yourself. That's the only way.
BTW, I've purchased a few envi-blocks from thelogsplitter. I was near his home in Massapequa and he sold me a few, just so I could try them. Not a bad product. Guy seemed nice enough.

Just saw this thread.
Any one out near me, if you need firewood to fill in the end of this season, hit me up. I'll give you a phone #.
If you want to get ahead as in year wise, hit me up.
I know a few guys, but I won't post their phone #'s on the net.

This is also my first year with a wood stove. Went through first cord by mid December (delivered by neighborhood guy). when I called for second cord, he admitted it was recently split. Called another neighborhood guy, he admitted nothing. Instead, he delivered short and oh so wet. it was so much work: forever to light, burn time like 2 hours, painful. I've been calling the logsplitter since early December. He gets deliveries but runs out before getting to me. We finally rented a cargo van (less than $50 all in) and drove to CT pellet in torrington and picked up a ton Of Envi 8 blocks. I'll throw a few in there and mix it up with the wet cord wood. Works like a charm. This should get me through this season, I hope. Now I know to plan in advance.

I agree ,getting ahead is the only true way of having seasoned wood. Im now 1-1/2 year ahead. In the spring time I will make room for another cord.Im always looking on craigslist & have the word out with friends about trees that came down or are getting cut down.Sistah, ya gotta get ahead.

So with all these posts still seems there is no good source for cords of wood. I'm just looking for someone honest in the spring that will give me a solid cord, plain and simple.
I am in Nassau county and willing to drive 30-40 min to buy firewoods. What's my best option in buying 1/2 cord? I can season it (ready this winter). Any help is appreciated.
Thx

It sounds ot me like an offer of a good contact. Why not take the plunge and ask for that number?

We had this convo (Lettherebefire & I ) in a PM ... I'm more than an hour away. No way my guys are going there. I suggested he post for some one closer.
This time, I cannot help. Wish I could, but it's not feasible.
This Island is bigger than most people think it is.
Anyone know where I can 2 cords in May? Not looking to burn now , just looking to get a heads up on next year.

There is a guy on the arboristsite forum that is a arborist on Long Island that sells firewood. He goes by tomtrees. He sells at least 100 cords a year and has a tree service called Old Country Tree Service. He has a nice several year pic thread in the off topic forum. Seems like a nice reputable guy, maybe check him out......
