Why should you use dry firewood?
Category:WoodWhilst it is true that any wood will burn, it is advisable to always burn dry firewood. Wood that hasn’t been dried still has water in it and a lot of energy (heat) created by burning is wasted in turning that water to steam. The benefits of properly dried firewood are:
- Reduced environmental impact
- Increased heat output
- Easier to light
- Less smoke
- Less soot deposits
You can dry your own firewood or buy a branded dry firewood, such as Ready to Burn
