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 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.
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.
What is a cord of firewood?
A cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet, measuring 4 feet high × 4 feet deep × 8 feet long when neatly stacked.
