Oak, ash, and maple are best for fireplaces, offering long burn times, good heat, and minimal smoke when properly seasoned.
Splitting firewood accelerates drying by exposing more surface area, enables proper ignition and combustion, and creates manageable sizes for efficient burning.
Most homes need 1-6 cords per winter depending on climate, home size, and whether wood is primary or supplemental heat.
Surface mold on firewood is safe to burn, though it indicates excessive moisture. Brush it off before burning and improve storage to prevent recurrence.
A cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet, measuring 4 feet high × 4 feet deep × 8 feet long when neatly stacked.
