Most homes need 1-6 cords per winter depending on climate, home size, and whether wood is primary or supplemental heat.
Seasoning firewood should be mostly uncovered in summer for maximum drying. Already-dry wood can have its top covered while leaving sides open.
Splitting firewood accelerates drying by exposing more surface area, enables proper ignition and combustion, and creates manageable sizes for efficient burning.
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.
