Description

Provideing a great overview of the moisture content in wood and its significance for seasoning firewood. To summarize:

  1. Water Content in Wood: When wood is felled, over half its weight is water, which exists as free water and molecular water.
  2. Free Water: This moisture is the first to evaporate and is primarily found in the tree’s narrow tubes.
  3. Seasoning Process: After the free water is gone, wood retains about 30% moisture. The seasoning process can take a long time as water gradually leaves the cell walls, leading to shrinkage and cracking.
  4. Optimal Burning Conditions: For effective burning, firewood should be seasoned to below 20% moisture content. Higher moisture levels can lead to inefficient burning, more smoke, and the buildup of creosote in chimneys.

Ensuring firewood is properly seasoned not only enhances the burning experience but also reduces the risk of chimney fires caused by creosote buildup. Would you like tips on how to season wood effectively?
