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.
A full cord is 128 cubic feet (4×4×8 ft), while a face cord is typically one-third that size (4×8 ft × 16 in deep).
Hardwoods are denser and burn longer with more heat, while softwoods ignite faster and burn quicker—both have advantages when properly seasoned.
Buy firewood in late winter through early spring for best prices and quality. Avoid peak season (September-December) when demand drives prices high.
