Choosing the Firewood

When choosing firewood, it is important to consider the type of wood, the size of the pieces, and the moisture content. The type of wood will affect the heat output of the fire. Hardwoods, such as oak and maple, have a higher heat output than softwoods, such as pine and fir. The size of the pieces will also affect the heat output. Larger pieces will burn for longer than smaller pieces. The moisture content of the wood is also important. Wood that is too wet will not burn properly.

How to Store Firewood

Firewood should be stored in a dry place, such as a shed or garage. The firewood should be stacked off the ground and should be covered to protect it from the elements. Firewood should also be rotated regularly to ensure that it all dries evenly.

1. Choose a Dry Location: The first step in firewood storage is selecting an appropriate location. Ideally, you should store firewood in a dry and well-ventilated area. Common options include a shed, garage, or a dedicated firewood storage rack. Avoid storing firewood directly on the ground, as ground moisture can seep into the wood and make it harder to ignite.

2. Elevate and Ventilate: When stacking firewood, it's essential to elevate it off the ground. This can be achieved by using pallets, bricks, or specially designed firewood racks. Elevating the wood helps prevent moisture absorption from the soil. Additionally, ensure there is adequate ventilation around the stacked wood to promote airflow, which aids in drying and prevents mold or mildew growth.

3. Cover for Protection: Firewood should be covered with a tarp or firewood cover to shield it from the elements. Rain, snow, and direct sunlight can all have adverse effects on firewood. A cover will keep the wood dry and prevent it from becoming waterlogged or excessively dried out by the sun. Make sure the cover extends over the entire stack and is secured to prevent wind from blowing it away.

4. Rotate the Stack: To ensure even drying, it's a good practice to rotate the firewood stack. Move older pieces from the bottom to the top regularly so that all the wood gets a chance to dry evenly. This helps maintain consistent moisture levels throughout the stack.

5. Keep an Adequate Supply: While it's essential to store firewood properly, it's also practical to maintain an adequate supply of seasoned wood. This means you should split and store firewood well in advance, allowing it to dry and season for at least six months to a year. This seasoned wood burns more efficiently and produces less creosote buildup in your chimney or stove.

6. Check for Pest Infestations: Periodically inspect your stored firewood for signs of pest infestations, such as termites or ants. If you notice any issues, take immediate steps to address the problem to prevent pests from spreading to your home.

The fire logs are easy to light and maintain, and they have a 2-hour burn time. They are also smokeless and odorless, so you can enjoy your fire without any worries.
