Dry Wood is Key

•

 

Dry wood burns hot, emits less
smoke and creates less creosote.

Testing Wood Moisture

•

 

Split wood stored in a dry area will
be fully dry within a year.  This
insures dry wood.  If purchasing
wood for immediate use, test the
wood with a moisture meter.  Some
experienced wood burners can
measure wood moisture by
knocking pieces together and
listening for a clear "knock" and not
a "thud".

Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood.  This cools the fire, creates
creosote, and hampers a complete burn.  Ask any experienced wood burner and he or she will agree: dry
wood is crucial to good performance.

Cut wood to length and 

chop into quarters.

Store the wood off the ground in a 

covered area.  Allow for airflow 

around the wood to dry the wood.
