Hardwoods are denser and burn longer with more heat, while softwoods ignite faster and burn quicker—both have advantages when properly seasoned.
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.
Buy firewood in late winter through early spring for best prices and quality. Avoid peak season (September-December) when demand drives prices high.
Cherry, apple, and oak are best for fire pits, offering pleasant aromas, beautiful flames, and minimal sparking for safe, enjoyable outdoor fires.
Creosote forms when smoke from wet wood or inefficient fires condenses in chimneys, creating a dangerous, flammable tar-like deposit.
