Hardwoods are denser and burn longer with more heat, while softwoods ignite faster and burn quicker—both have advantages when properly seasoned.
Firewood can harbor termites, but proper storage 20-30 feet from your home, elevated off the ground, prevents infestations. Burn wood promptly after bringing it indoors.
Firewood is typically delivered by dump truck and deposited in your driveway or designated area. Some suppliers offer stacking for an extra fee.
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.
