FAQs
-
What’s the difference between hardwood and softwood firewood?
Hardwoods are denser and burn longer with more heat, while softwoods ignite faster and burn quicker—both have advantages when properly seasoned.
-
What’s the hottest burning firewood?
Osage orange burns hottest at 32-33 million BTUs per cord, followed by hickory and black locust. Oak offers the best balance of heat and availability.
-
What causes creosote buildup in chimneys?
Creosote forms when smoke from wet wood or inefficient fires condenses in chimneys, creating a dangerous, flammable tar-like deposit.
-
Does firewood attract termites?
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.
-
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.
