PURCHASING THE FIREWOOD
The quality of the firewood you burn can have a dramatic effect on the efficiency and operation of the heater.
The main factors that affect the burning characteristics of firewood are moisture content, tree species and
piece size.
The moisture content of the wood affects the rate at which burns and the efficiency of combustion. When
trees are cut, the wood moisture content ranges between 35 and 60 percent by weight. If you attempt to burn
wood this wet, it will be hard to ignite, slow to burn and will hiss and sizzle in the firebox. So much energy
will be consumed in boiling off the excess water that the efficiency of combustion and the heat to your home
will be low, condensation and corrosion may be occurring in the flue and smoke may be causing problems to
your neighbours. Properly seasoned wood ignites readily and burns efficiently.
Firewood should be cut and split in the early spring and stacked under cover, with good ventilation, to
be ready for burning when required.
Look for checks or cracks in the end grain as a sign of dry wood. The stacks of firewood should be in an open
area so that air can circulate through them. During the summer, as warm breezes flow through the stacks,
carrying away the evaporating water, the moisture content of the wood will fall to around 20 percent. At this
moisture content the wood is ready for burning.
