FAQs
-
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.
-
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.
-
Can you mix different types of firewood?
Yes, mixing firewood types is smart strategy. Combine softwood for starting with hardwood for sustained heat, or blend species to balance cost and performance.
-
Why does firewood need to be split?
Splitting firewood accelerates drying by exposing more surface area, enables proper ignition and combustion, and creates manageable sizes for efficient burning.
-
Should firewood be covered in summer?
Seasoning firewood should be mostly uncovered in summer for maximum drying. Already-dry wood can have its top covered while leaving sides open.
