Firewood

Seasoned firewood typically is offered in 14” to 16” lengths and split into pieces that can be handled with ease. The seasoning process generally takes about eight to 12 months depending on the amount of sunlight to which the wood is exposed, air circulation around the wood, and frequency with which the wood is rotated.

Wood that is properly seasoned burns cleaner and more efficiently in your wood stove or fireplace. Quality, seasoned wood often appears gray in color, which indicates that it has been “weathered” for the optimum amount of time and according to optimal procedures, and it has a moisture content of about 20 percent.

Kiln-dried firewood, like seasoned wood, also is available in 14” to 16” lengths and split into easy-to-pick up pieces. What makes kiln-dried wood different from seasoned wood is that it has been dried in ovens from two to five days, which reduces its moisture content to less than 20 percent.

Kiln-dried wood generates a hotter fire than seasoned wood, usually weighs less than seasoned wood, is easy to light, and it produces less smoke and creosote than seasoned wood.

When winter arrives in New England, it’s a good bet that temperatures will be cold and snow flakes will fall. It’s also a good time to enjoy the warmth or sound of a crackling fire burning brightly in a woodstove, fireplace or fire pit.
