Fuel

 

Selection:

 

Once

 

your

 

wood

burning

 

appliance

 

is

 

properly

 

installed,

 

building

 

an

 

effective

 

fire

 

requires

 

good

 

firewood

 

(using

 

the

 

right

 

wood

 

in

 

the

 

right

 

amount)

 

and

 

good

 

fire

 

building

 

practices.

 

The

 

following

 

practical

 

steps

 

will

 

help

 

you

 

obtain

 

the

 

best

 

efficiency

 

from

 

your

 

wood

 

stove

 

or

 

fireplace.

  

 

Season

 

wood

 

outdoors

 

through

 

the

 

summer

 

for

 

at

 

least

 

6

 

months

 

before

 

burning

 

it.

 

Properly

 

seasoned

 

wood

 

is

 

darker,

 

has

 

cracks

 

in

 

the

 

end

 

grain,

 

and

 

sounds

 

hollow

 

when

 

smacked

 

against

 

another

 

piece

 

of

 

wood.

  

 

Store

 

wood

 

outdoors,

 

stacked

 

neatly

 

off

 

the

 

ground

 

with

 

the

 

top

 

covered.

 

 

Burn

 

only

 

dry,

 

well

seasoned

 

wood

 

that

 

has

 

been

 

split

 

properly.

 

 

Start

 

fires

 

with

 

newspaper

 

and

 

dry

 

kindling

 

as

 

discussed

 

earlier

 

in

 

the

 

manual.

  

 

Burn

 

hot

 

fires.

  

 

To

 

maintain

 

proper

 

airflow,

 

regularly

 

remove

 

ashes

 

from

 

your

 

wood

burning

 

appliance

 

into

 

a

 

metal

 

container

 

with

 

a

 

cover

 

and

 

store

 

outdoors.

  

 

Moisture

 

Meter

 

Information

 

 

Firewood

 

is

 

ready

 

at

 

10

25%

 

moisture

 

content.

 

 

Newly

cut

 

logs

 

can

 

have

 

a

 

moisture

 

content

 

(MC)

 

of

 

80%

 

or

 

more,

 

depending

 

on

 

species.

 

Since

 

wood

 

shrinks,

 

and

 

can

 

also

 

split,

 

twist

 

or

 

otherwise

 

change

 

shape

 

as

 

it

 

dries,

 

most

 

wood

 

is

 

dried

 

before

 

being

 

used.

 

Air

 

drying,

 

or

 

‘seasoning,’

 

is

 

the

 

most

 

common

 

method

 

used

 

for

 

cord

 

wood.

 

In

 

most

 

parts

 

of

 

the

 

United

 

States,

 

the

 

minimum

 

moisture

 

content

 

that

 

can

 

be

 

generally

 

obtained

 

in

 

air

 

drying

 

is

 

about

 

12

 

to

 

15

 

percent.

 

Most

 

air

dried

 

material

 

is

 

usually

 

closer

 

to

 

20

 

percent

 

moisture

 

content

 

when

 

used

 

 

To

 

test

 

your

 

firewood,

 

simply

 

push

 

the

 

pins

 

into

 

the

 

wood

 

and

 

wait

 

for

 

a

 

reading.

 

 

Remember,

 

don't

 

just

 

stick

 

the

 

meter

 

into

 

the

 

ends

 

of

 

your

 

firewood

.

  

To

 

get

 

the

 

most

 

accurate

 

reading,

 

split

 

the

 

wood

 

and

 

test

 

the

 

center.

  

The

 

center

 

of

 

the

 

log

 

will

 

contain

 

the

 

most

 

moisture.

  

 

How

 

Far

 

Should

 

I

 

Drive

 

Non

Insulated

 

Pins

 

into

 

Wood?

  

 

To

 

full

 

depth

 

if

 

possible.

 

However,

 

at

 

moisture

 

levels

 

below

 

10%,

 

it

 

is

 

usually

 

sufficient

 

to

 

make

 

good,

 

positive

 

contact

 

with

 

the

 

wood.

 

At

 

higher

 

levels

 

of

 

moisture

 

and

 

especially

 

if

 

you

 

have

 

a

 

steep

 

gradient,

 

full

 

penetration

 

is

 

a

 

must.
