Moisture content also plays a key role in the
performance of your stove. Wood freshly cut from a
living tree (green wood) contains a great deal of
moisture. As you might expect, green wood burns
poorly. You must season green wood before using it
in your wood stove. To season green wood properly,
split, stack, and allow it to air dry for a period of one
year. Green wood may provide less than 2000 Btu per
pound, whereas dry wood can provide up to 7000 Btu
per pound.
Stack the firewood on skids or blocks to keep it off the
ground, cover only the top of the stack. Plastic or
tarps that cover the sides of the woodpile trap
moisture and prevent the wood from drying. As for
stacking, an old Vermonter said, "The spaces
between the logs should be large enough for a mouse
to get through, but not for the cat that's chasing it."
• CAUTION: DO NOT STORE FIREWOOD WITHIN
THE STOVE'S SPECIFIED CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
