Storing Firewood Safely

Handling Firewood Properly

What are the best practices for storing firewood?

To keep your firewood in optimal condition, store it in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct contact with the ground. Use a firewood rack to elevate the wood and cover the top with a tarp to protect it from rain and snow. This helps prevent mold and ensures your firewood burns efficiently.

How should I handle firewood safely?

Always wear gloves when handling firewood to protect your hands from splinters and rough edges. When stacking wood, be mindful of your posture to avoid strain. If you're using a wheelbarrow or cart, ensure it’s stable and not overloaded to prevent accidents.

What are the best practices for burning firewood?

Use seasoned firewood for the best burn. It should have a moisture content of less than 20%. Start your fire with kindling and small pieces of wood, gradually adding larger logs. Always maintain a safe distance from the fire and never leave it unattended.
