Firewood Facts

Seasoning Wood - Fresh-cut wood provides only about 70% of the heating value of seasoned wood, making proper drying(seasoning) essential for efficient heating. Wood is considered seasoned when the moisture content is 20% or less, allowing it to burn hotter and cleaner. 

Diameter makes a significant difference when it comes to seasoning firewood.  To properly season your wood, it should be cut into lengths of 12 inches or less at least once. If the pieces are larger than 12 inches in diameter, they should be split into quarters. Ultimately, the larger the diameter of the wood, the more splitting is required to allow it to dry thoroughly. 

Keep in mind that wood shrinks as it dries. Wood cut in the fall/winter should be well seasoned and ready to burn by the following winter if it is processed and stored properly. It is even recommended to season your firewood when you are using an outdoor furnace/boiler, as burning unseasoned wood can lead to increased creosote buildup and reduce heat output. 

Storing Wood - To protect your firewood, it should be stored in a dry location with good ventilation and ideally, some sun exposure. Proper airflow helps reduce the risk of mold. If your wood is already seasoned, you may cover the pile with plastic; however, keep in mind that plastic covers can slow the seasoning process. It is also recommended to stack your firewood on treated two-by-fours or similar supports to keep it from making direct contact with the soil.
