Firewood

Only burn wood that has been seasoned for at least one full year (two years is better). If

the wood has not been seasoned or dried, energy will be lost in evaporating the water

held in the wood. Furthermore, condensation or creosote might occur in the stove and

pipe when damp wood is burnt.

Freshly cut wood contains approx. 60-70% water and is completely unsuited for burning.

Log size should be about 2” (5 cm) less than the width of the rebox

All types of wood heat equally per pound; however, the density of wood is not the same

as is shown in the table below, where the combustible value of wood dried for two years

with a moisture of 15-20% is taken into account. See table to the left.

Drying and storage

Wood to be used for burning in a stove should be dried for two years to ensure optimal

burning.

Here are some storage tips:

• Cut and split the wood before storing.

• Keep the woodpile in a dry sunny place, protected from the rain. Do not cover the pile

with plastic, because that prevents the wood from drying properly.

• Stack the wood with enough space between the rows to ensure good air circulation.

• Bring the logs inside the house two-three days prior to use.
