What size should firewood pieces be?
Firewood should typically be 16 inches long and split to 4-6 inch diameter. Measure your fireplace or stove to confirm the right size before ordering.
How should firewood be stored?
Store firewood elevated off the ground, 20-30 feet from your home, in a sunny location with only the top covered to allow airflow.
Can you burn green (unseasoned) wood?
You can burn green wood, but shouldn’t—it produces minimal heat, maximum smoke, dangerous creosote buildup, and wastes money.
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 is seasoned firewood?
Seasoned firewood is wood that has been dried to reduce moisture content below 20% for efficient, safe burning with less smoke and creosote.
