When you are looking for firewood, we always recommend that you look for seasoned firewood. The variance is in the moisture level in the wood. At D & M Firewood, we actually measure the moisture in all of our firewood logs, and make sure the moisture level is below 22 percent before we give it our stamp of approval and verify that it ready to sell. Seasoning firewood is a natural process that takes time, and more than a little knowledge and experience.

Having dry, seasoned firewood is vital to easily creating that mesmerizing, roaring fire that families gather around at the campground. Seasoned firewood burns hotter, and lights easier than wet, unseasoned wood.

Unseasoned wood is difficult to burn, and creates a lot of smoke caused by the burning off of the excess moisture. In addition, burning wet firewood with high moisture content in a fireplace could cause a safety hazard. Burning unseasoned wood can increase in the amount of creosote released. This can build up in the chimney, potential creating a fire hazard.
