How can you tell if firewood is dry?
Dry firewood shows cracks in end grain, sounds hollow when knocked together, weighs less, and measures below 20% moisture with a meter.
What questions should I ask when ordering firewood?
Ask about exact cord measurements, wood species, moisture content, piece size, delivery details, and pricing to ensure quality firewood at fair prices.
Should firewood be covered in summer?
Seasoning firewood should be mostly uncovered in summer for maximum drying. Already-dry wood can have its top covered while leaving sides open.
What’s the difference between a face cord and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet (4×4×8 ft), while a face cord is typically one-third that size (4×8 ft × 16 in deep).
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.
