FAQs
-
How far from the house should firewood be stored?
Store firewood 20-30 feet from your home to prevent insect infestations and fire hazards. Keep only 1-2 days’ worth near your door for convenience.
-
What firewood produces the best coals?
Oak and hickory produce the best, longest-lasting coals. Black locust also excels where available, while ash provides good coals with easier processing.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
