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.
You can burn well-seasoned firewood during rain if it’s been stored under cover. Focus on dry kindling and sheltered fire pits for outdoor burning in wet weather.
Stack firewood in single rows on elevated supports, 4 feet high, with crisscrossed ends for stability. Cover only the top to allow airflow.
Dry firewood shows cracks in end grain, sounds hollow when knocked together, weighs less, and measures below 20% moisture with a meter.
Most homes need 1-6 cords per winter depending on climate, home size, and whether wood is primary or supplemental heat.
