Surface mold on firewood is safe to burn, though it indicates excessive moisture. Brush it off before burning and improve storage to prevent recurrence.
Seasoned firewood is wood that has been dried to reduce moisture content below 20% for efficient, safe burning with less smoke and creosote.
Store firewood 20-30 feet from your home, elevated off the ground, and only bring inside what you’ll burn immediately to prevent insect problems.
Oak is best for pizza ovens, providing high heat and clean burning. Maple works well too, while fruitwoods like cherry add flavor when mixed with primary fuel.
Stack firewood in single rows on elevated supports, 4 feet high, with crisscrossed ends for stability. Cover only the top to allow airflow.
