Most homes need 1-6 cords per winter depending on climate, home size, and whether wood is primary or supplemental heat.
Oak, ash, and maple are best for fireplaces, offering long burn times, good heat, and minimal smoke 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.
Store firewood elevated off the ground, 20-30 feet from your home, in a sunny location with only the top covered to allow airflow.
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.
