Get the most from your wood burning stove with properly seasoned logs

It is essential to burn wood that has been properly ‘seasoned’, in other words, it has been left to completely dry out for between ten and twenty four months depending on the type of wood. Never use chemically treated wood or artificially created products such as particle board. Ideally you should plan your fuel requirements a season ahead and store your logs in a dry location where air can circulate through them. Managing your log store and preparing logs and kindling is all part of the enjoyment of a wood burning stove and if done correctly will undoubtedly reward you with the natural smells, sights and sounds that are unique to wood burning.
