When using your wood burning stove it is important that the wood you burn has a moisture content below 20%. Burning dry wood instead of wet wood really has a great impact on the environment.
Burning wet wood increases emissions and has a greater impact on air quality.
Any appliance and chimney system will suffer from smoke produced from wet wood which increases maintenance and repair requirements, making it harder for chimney sweeps to keep your system in safe, effective condition.
READY TO BURN…
When buying your logs look for the “woodsure” ready to burn logo. This shows that the wood is ready for use.
