Installation and Operation Manual - Inspire 2000 Insert
− Hardwoods like oak, maple and ash can take one, or even two years to dry fully, especially if the
pieces are big;

much longer to dry when stacked in a wood shed;
The firewood is dry enough to burn when:
− Cracks form at the ends of logs as they dry;
− The wood turns from white or cream colored to grey or yellow;
− Two pieces of wood struck together sounds hollow;
− Dry wood is much lighter in weight than wet wood,
− The face of a fresh cut feels warm and dry;
− The moisture content read by a moisture meter is between
15% to 20%.
