Huntington is where our Long Island pallet route ends and where the island's oldest working chimneys start. The Town of Huntington runs from the harbor villages on the Sound down past Jericho Turnpike to the big-lot subdivisions, and both halves of it burn hardwood in quantity. The town sits roughly 110 miles from our Levittown, PA kiln and inside the western Suffolk corridor, which is the eastern edge of our palletized cord service. Every split leaves the kiln under 15% moisture, heat treated to 160 degrees F at the core.

Delivery options for Huntington and western Suffolk

  • Palletized 1/4 and 1/2 cord: scheduled lift-gate freight to driveways in Huntington, Huntington Station, Northport, Dix Hills and Melville, 2 to 3 business days off peak
  • Mega Bag (1.75 cu ft): free UPS Ground, typically 1 to 2 business days
  • Premium Box (1.33 cu ft): free UPS Ground, a one-person carry for Northport village lots and Centerport cottages
  • Bulk 15 Mega Bag pallet: includes 1 free 1.33 cu ft Box, the reorder size along the Route 110 business corridor

Freight stops working east of the western Suffolk line, so addresses out past Smithtown should order packaged sizes and let UPS carry them to the door. The Long Island delivery page has the island-wide picture, including the East End.

Where the wood goes in the Town of Huntington

  1. Harbor houses with original flues: Cold Spring Harbor, Lloyd Harbor and Centerport hold nineteenth century housing stock where the chimney is as old as the frame. Wet wood is what lays down creosote in a flue that has never been relined, which is the whole argument for buying under 15% instead of a yard cord at 30%.
  2. Northport and Greenlawn village lots: Main Street in Northport still has trolley track set into the pavement, and the blocks behind it are narrow. A Premium Box goes through a side gate in a single trip, no wheelbarrow.
  3. Dix Hills and Melville: the big-lot blocks south of Jericho Turnpike and off the Northern State often run two or three fireplaces plus a patio hearth. This is the 1/2 cord pallet address, and the driveways here have the room for a lift-gate drop.
  4. Route 110 and Huntington Station: hotels, wood-fired kitchens and event spaces along New York Avenue reorder the bulk pallet and keep the phytosanitary certificate on file for inspections.
  5. Park and beach fires: Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve in Lloyd Harbor and the town beaches pull weekend fire use through the fall. Certified heat-treated wood is the only kind that travels legally to a New York park.

North Shore winter: the wind arrives before the cold does

A Huntington winter is a Sound winter. The wind comes across open water and finds every harbor-facing house in Lloyd Harbor and Cold Spring Harbor before the thermometer says anything is wrong, which is why the first real burn nights here run earlier than they do inland. Two practical consequences follow. First, order the cord early: freight slots for the whole Long Island corridor start filling in mid October, and November and December runs take longer than the standard 2 to 3 business days. Second, keep a packaged reserve. When a coastal storm takes the power down along 25A, a stocked rack is the heat plan, and UPS orders placed by noon ET still move in 1 to 2 business days while the roads are open.

New York quarantine rules that apply in Suffolk

New York bans untreated firewood from moving more than 50 miles from its source, and Long Island sits inside active emerald ash borer and spotted lanternfly zones. That rule quietly disqualifies a lot of what gets resold locally as seasoned cordwood. Our USDA-certified kiln-dried firewood carries a phytosanitary certificate on every order, so it is legal from the kiln to a Huntington driveway and onward to a campground or a second home without a distance question.

FAQ

Which Huntington ZIPs get pallet freight?
All of them, including Huntington (11743), Huntington Station (11746), Cold Spring Harbor (11724), Northport (11768) and Greenlawn (11740). Huntington sits inside the Nassau and western Suffolk pallet zone, so a scheduled lift-gate truck can reach any address with driveway or curb access.

Will the driver stack it for me?
No. The LTL carrier brings the pallet down on a lift gate and sets it at the driveway or curb. There is no stacking service, so plan a spot the truck can reach and move the wood at your own pace.

How much should a Cold Spring Harbor fireplace order?
It depends on how often you actually burn. A weekend fireplace usually runs through a 1/4 cord across a season, while a house running a fireplace most evenings plus an outdoor hearth is a 1/2 cord buyer. The firewood calculator will size it against your burn rate.

Is there a page for the Nassau side of the route?
Yes. The Garden City delivery page covers the Nassau county-seat corridor on the same truck, and the New York hub covers the rest of the state.
