Surface mold on firewood is safe to burn, though it indicates excessive moisture. Brush it off before burning and improve storage to prevent recurrence.
Seasoned firewood is wood that has been dried to reduce moisture content below 20% for efficient, safe burning with less smoke and creosote.
Stack firewood in single rows on elevated supports, 4 feet high, with crisscrossed ends for stability. Cover only the top to allow airflow.
Oak and hickory produce the best, longest-lasting coals. Black locust also excels where available, while ash provides good coals with easier processing.
Hardwoods are denser and burn longer with more heat, while softwoods ignite faster and burn quicker—both have advantages when properly seasoned.
