You can burn green wood, but shouldn’t—it produces minimal heat, maximum smoke, dangerous creosote buildup, and wastes money.
Buy firewood in late winter through early spring for best prices and quality. Avoid peak season (September-December) when demand drives prices high.
Dry firewood shows cracks in end grain, sounds hollow when knocked together, weighs less, and measures below 20% moisture with a meter.
Kiln-dried firewood is dried in heated chambers to 10-15% moisture in days, burning hotter and cleaner than air-seasoned wood.
Oak, ash, and maple are best for fireplaces, offering long burn times, good heat, and minimal smoke when properly seasoned.
