Burning Questions: What is Kiln-Dried Firewood

As you browse the firewood marketplace, you’ve likely noticed there’s kiln-dried firewood, but there’s also seasoned firewood and green firewood. Let’s break down the differences. The seasoned variety is not a bad choice, it takes up to 15 minutes to light, and it emits a fair amount of smoke. It also tends to burn inconsistently, leaving a higher chance for creosote build-up. It’s also not ideal for indoor storage if you want to avoid mold and pests. That said, it is a good choice for buying in bulk for outdoor activities as it is designed to season outdoors under dry storage

Green firewood is freshly cut wood that retains its 60% moisture content. While it requires a longer drying period before it’s ready for optimal burning, its value lies in its lower cost and availability, making it a practical choice for those who can season their own firewood.

You’re all set to be the firewood aficionado! Whether you’re throwing a shindig, creating those heartwarming memories, or just trying to keep the chill at bay, we’ve got your back.

Burning Questions: How Do I Use Firewood Safely?

Safety should always be a priority when working with firewood. When burning firewood indoors, choose dense hardwoods. Softer wood species burn faster and don’t create long-lasting coals. Avoid firewood with a lot of moisture that causes smoke, as it leaves a residue that may lead to chimney fires. And when it comes to cooking, don’t get fancy with it – steer clear of painted, pressure-treated, ground-treated, stained, or manufactured wood products. They might look interesting and it might be tempting to burn some leftover lumber you grabbed at a hardware store, but they will likely release toxic gasses

If you ask us, you can never have too much – you just need to shop smart. Before your first swing at firewood shopping, let’s decode some lingo. A box is like a little firewood starter pack. But unlike the unpredictable quality you might find with other brands at big box stores, our boxes of firewood ensure you know exactly what you’re getting.

Now, if you want to go big, we talk about “cords.” A full cord is a large 4′ x 8′ x 4′ stack that offers a reliable stock for businesses and individuals who are quickly burning through their firewood, literally and figuratively. It’s three half-ton pickup truck loads full of wood. A half cord is, you guessed it, half of that.
