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.
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.
What causes creosote buildup in chimneys?
Creosote forms when smoke from wet wood or inefficient fires condenses in chimneys, creating a dangerous, flammable tar-like deposit.
How is firewood delivered?
Firewood is typically delivered by dump truck and deposited in your driveway or designated area. Some suppliers offer stacking for an extra fee.
How much firewood do I need for winter?
Most homes need 1-6 cords per winter depending on climate, home size, and whether wood is primary or supplemental heat.
