Air Drying Firewood

Getting the most from your wood

Air drying firewood is a process of reducing the moisture content of the wood by exposing it to the sun and air. It can take several months or even years, depending on the type and size of the wood, the climate, and how the wood is stacked. Here are some steps to air dry firewood effectively: Cut and split the wood as soon as possible after harvesting. This will expose more surface area of the wood and allow moisture to escape faster.
