What’s the best firewood for a fireplace?

How is firewood delivered?
Firewood is typically delivered by dump truck and deposited in your driveway or designated area. Some suppliers offer stacking for an extra fee.
How do you prevent insects in firewood?
Store firewood 20-30 feet from your home, elevated off the ground, and only bring inside what you’ll burn immediately to prevent insect problems.
Can you burn firewood in the rain?
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.
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.
