How can you tell if firewood is dry?
Dry firewood shows cracks in end grain, sounds hollow when knocked together, weighs less, and measures below 20% moisture with a meter.
How do you stack firewood correctly?
Stack firewood in single rows on elevated supports, 4 feet high, with crisscrossed ends for stability. Cover only the top to allow airflow.
What size should firewood pieces be?
Firewood should typically be 16 inches long and split to 4-6 inch diameter. Measure your fireplace or stove to confirm the right size before ordering.
What is seasoned firewood?
Seasoned firewood is wood that has been dried to reduce moisture content below 20% for efficient, safe burning with less smoke and creosote.
What is kiln-dried firewood?
Kiln-dried firewood is dried in heated chambers to 10-15% moisture in days, burning hotter and cleaner than air-seasoned wood.
