Storage Tips For Firewood
|
Now, that you have cut and split your firewood its time to store it away for seasoning. Many
times you see a stack or firewood using two trees support the ends. We really don’t
recommend this type of storage. The weight of the logs leaning against the trees can
cause damage to the trunk and may cause smaller trees to bow. Firewood should not be
stored on the ground as it only causes the wood to rot as opposed to drying out.
Seasoning firewood is drying the moisture out of the wood. Split wood will dry out much
faster than whole logs. The easiest time to split firewood is when it is still green. Once the
wood is seasoned its harder to split.
We suggest a log rack that raises the wood off the ground. This keeps the wood off the
ground so it can season and helps keep the insects and rodents from making your wood
pile their home. Never store firewood against your home or any buildings. This prevents
any insects or rodents from entering your home. Always place the log rack out in the open
so the wind can blow through it.
During the summer months it is preferred to cover only the top of the stack. This will keep
rain off but allow air to blow through the wood drying it out. During the rain season and
the winter you can fully cover the wood to keep it dry.
You do not have to purchase a log rack you can build a log rack using pressure treated
2x4’s. But many times it easier to purchase one with a cover designed to fit.
