Our firewood is seasoned and stored outside. We split to order; this will produce moisture content purely due to the nature of wood.
A nice covered location, that has access to warmth from the sun and fresh air is ideal for storing wood. Good airflow is crucial to keep your wood stored and kept moister-free. Wood stacks should have gaps to allow airflow to easily penetrate during storage months.
We recommend leaving your firewood outside in the sunlight, during the summer months to finish the drying process. While its okay to cover from a heavy down pour, we advise not to keep covered with a tarp consistently as your firewood will sweat and go mouldy.
Hot Tip : Rain can speed up the drying process for denser wood such as Gum/ Macrocarpa Rain will not hurt your firewood, as long as you have the time to let it dry out in summer.
Hot Tip : With all softwoods, getting them well stacked and out of the weather is recommended. Softwoods can act like a sponge when it comes to water and quickly become sodden and wet if left to the elements. Stack in neat rows in a well-covered, ventilated, and warm area.
