How to Dry Firewood

Probably the most important thing when living with woodfires, is to have dry logs. Our firewood must be dry, or it causes problems and wastes time, effort and money. This video shares all I have learned about seasoning wood fuel - and keeps it fun. Love your woodshed and the larder of winter warmth it stores.
Dry logs burn hotter and cleaner, this is becoming more important as attention on emissions grows - especially of smoke and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from wood and coal, open fires and stoves. This is not just important in smoke controlled areas - it is for all of us. Wood is a true renewable, one we should be proud to use - as long as it is harvested sustainably and burned efficiently. This wonderful and ancient heating fuel does not release fossilised carbon, nor create radio-active waste!
