What is seasoned firewood?

Seasoned firewood is wood that has dried over time to reduce its moisture content. Properly seasoned wood generally burns more efficiently and produces less smoke than freshly cut wood when burned correctly.

How can I tell if firewood is seasoned?

Seasoned wood often has cracks at the ends, feels lighter than freshly cut wood, and makes a sharper sound when two pieces are struck together. A moisture meter provides a more reliable measurement. Firewood with a moisture content of around 20% or less is generally suitable for burning.

How should I store seasoned firewood?

Store firewood off the ground in a well-ventilated location. Cover the top to protect it from rain while leaving the sides open for airflow. Keep the stack a safe distance from buildings to reduce pest and fire risks.

Why is seasoned firewood preferable to freshly cut wood?

Seasoned firewood typically ignites more easily, produces more usable heat, and generates less smoke and creosote than wet wood when burned under similar conditions. Always use an appropriate fireplace or wood-burning appliance.
