Frequently Asked Questions
What is Firewood?
Firewood refers to wood that is gathered and prepared for use as fuel in fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, outdoor fire pits, or similar heating or cooking devices.
What types of wood are commonly used as firewood?
Common choices include hardwoods like oak, maple, ash, beech, and birch, as well as softwoods like pine and fir.
What is the difference between hardwood and softwood firewood?
Hardwood firewood is denser and burns longer with more heat. Softwood firewood ignites more easily and produces a lively flame.
How should firewood be stored?
Store it in a dry, ventilated area. Stack it off the ground on pallets or racks and cover the top with a tarp.
How long does firewood need to season?
Seasoned firewood burns more efficiently, produces more heat, and creates less smoke and creosote buildup.
How can you tell if firewood is seasoned?
Seasoned wood has cracks at the ends, is lighter in weight, and makes a hollow sound when struck together.
Can you burn freshly cut or green wood?
No, green wood has high moisture and creates more smoke and less heat. It must be seasoned before burning.
Are there safety precautions when using firewood?
Always maintain your fireplace/stove, use fire screens, never leave fires unattended, and store firewood safely away from your home.
Can firewood be used for cooking?
Yes! Use seasoned firewood in fire pits, grills, or wood-fired ovens to avoid unwanted flavors and excess smoke.
Where can I buy firewood?
Buy firewood from local suppliers, garden centers, or online. Always check local transport and pest regulations.
*Note: Firewood usage and regulations may vary by location. Consult local guidelines for the most accurate information.
Kindling
What is kindling?
Kindling refers to small, easily combustible materials used to start a fire. It is typically smaller in size compared to regular firewood and ignites quickly, helping to ignite larger pieces of wood.
Why is kindling important for starting a fire?
Kindling plays a crucial role in starting a fire because it ignites easily and creates a flame that can be used to ignite larger pieces of firewood. It provides the initial heat and combustion needed to get the fire going.
What is the difference between hardwood and softwood firewood?
Hardwood firewood is denser and typically burns longer and produces more heat compared to softwood firewood. Softwood firewood, on the other hand, ignites more easily and produces a lively flame.
How should kindling be prepared?
Kindling should be prepared by collecting or cutting small, dry pieces of wood or other suitable materials. It is helpful to have a range of sizes, from thin twigs to slightly larger pieces, to ensure a steady progression of burning material.
How should kindling be arranged in a fire?
Kindling should be arranged in a way that allows air to circulate and flame to spread—commonly in a teepee or crisscross formation—to ignite larger firewood effectively.
How much kindling should be used to start a fire?
The amount of kindling needed can vary depending on the size of the fire and the type of wood being burned. As a general guideline, a handful or two of kindling should be sufficient to start a fire.
Are there any safety precautions to consider when using kindling?
Yes, it's important to handle and store kindling safely. Keep it away from flammable materials, and exercise caution when igniting it to avoid accidental burns. Always follow local fire safety guidelines and regulations.
