It's that time of year again and I'm looking to buy some firewood. My usual supplier is not delivering wood this year. Anyone have a good recommendation?
Places like Long Island Firewood post their stock on sale around July\August and I believe they fully sold out on their inventory in mid November.
Best to go on Facebook Marketplace and post that you're looking for firewood. You should get several responses and even some willing to deliver for an extra fee.
Good Luck.

Will do. If anyone else has a good recommendation I'd appreciated it.
What's the best tips for lighting a fire? I haven't had much luck getting it started up. Googled it but the ways they said didnt work.
Thanks
Get a gas fireplace insert.
Failing that, most fires fail because there is not enough kindling- which can be sticks, wood scraps from woodworking projects, etc. Clean the ashes out of the fireplace but it doesn't need to be swept bare and open the damper all the way. You will need more kindling than you think because the idea here is to go progressively from small pieces to your logs. Arrange your small pieces of kindling so the small stuff is on the bottom and build up with the larger stuff. There is no need to put everything there at once, unless you want to build a bonfire in your fireplace. You can add pieces as the fire builds.
Then get your fire starter- newspaper, those secret files you want to destroy (I have heard dryer lint is really good but I haven't tried it). Again, one or two pieces of newspaper are not going to be enough. If you are using newspaper, ball it up and shove it underneath your grate.
Light the newspaper or firestarter in several places. As the smaller kindling catches, add your larger pieces and finally your logs. Start with one or two of your smaller logs and then when they catch, you can add your bigger stuff.

There’s a few keys:
Air flow, because a fire needs oxygen to burn. Make sure you have a good fireplace grate to build your fire on. Then, build a box with your paper, a few pieces of fat wood from LL Bean and then some dry kindling wood and then a couple of mid sized dry logs. That should get you going.
I’m on the North Shore so they aren’t my usual, which is Bayless here in PW. But a few time I’ve gotten deliveries from Prianti Farms and the wood was excellent one year and pretty m’eh the other. The truth is, unless you’re getting kiln dried firewood it’s probably gonna be hit or miss and mostly, at this time of the year, tending toward miss. Obviously too late now but if you buy in the spring you get the summer to dry out.

Absolutely. His business is called Brockenzo (a blend of all 4 of his kids' names). He is actually stationed at the OTB in Hauppauge for now. His main business is private parties but he does certain things like Alive at 5 in Patchogue in the summer.
He has a Facebook page and is on Instagram. His Instagram page is below. Link - ( New Window )

One thing though, it may not be seasoned enough yet. Specify that you want to use it now, not 6 months from now when you ask.

a good place to go. They're always cutting down trees. I go to my guy here in Norwalk for mine.

Anytime. Good luck. There's nothing like a nice fire on these dreary days.
