FAQs
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Is moldy firewood safe to burn?
Surface mold on firewood is safe to burn, though it indicates excessive moisture. Brush it off before burning and improve storage to prevent recurrence.
-
How do you prevent insects in firewood?
Store firewood 20-30 feet from your home, elevated off the ground, and only bring inside what you’ll burn immediately to prevent insect problems.
