Firewood

Season, stack and store firewood properly

Wet wood burns poorly, makes smoke and builds creosote, so firewood preparation matters as much as the stove. These guides explain how seasoning works, how long different species usually take to dry and how to test moisture with a simple meter. You learn how to split, stack and cover wood so air can move through it, where to store it away from the house and how to keep pests under control.
