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.

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
