Surface mold on firewood is safe to burn, though it indicates excessive moisture. Brush it off before burning and improve storage to prevent recurrence.
Oak is best for pizza ovens, providing high heat and clean burning. Maple works well too, while fruitwoods like cherry add flavor when mixed with primary fuel.
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.
Firewood can harbor termites, but proper storage 20-30 feet from your home, elevated off the ground, prevents infestations. Burn wood promptly after bringing it indoors.
