How to store firewood the right way
- Store your firewood in a sunny and aerated area (south/westside)
- Make sure the ground is dry
- Store it with at least 15 cm distance to the ground
- By storing it cross piled it dries quicker
- Cover it with a rain shield as soon as it is dried
- When storing it make sure there is at least a gap of 10 cm between the wood and the building so the wood can aerate
- If possible keep the daily consumption near to the fireplace
Did you know?
In 4- 12 months your firewood can be dried to 18- to 22%.
That means you can stack a one year supply of firewood in spring and use it in your next heating period.
