Store firewood elevated off the ground, 20-30 feet from your home, in a sunny location with only the top covered to allow airflow.
Seasoning firewood should be mostly uncovered in summer for maximum drying. Already-dry wood can have its top covered while leaving sides open.
You can burn green wood, but shouldn’t—it produces minimal heat, maximum smoke, dangerous creosote buildup, and wastes money.
You can burn well-seasoned firewood during rain if it’s been stored under cover. Focus on dry kindling and sheltered fire pits for outdoor burning in wet weather.
Most homes need 1-6 cords per winter depending on climate, home size, and whether wood is primary or supplemental heat.
