Purchase from local wood merchants who offer good clean block or split firewood cut to length. Some wood collected can be green and if so should be stored at least a year before use.

Burning green or unseasoned wood wastes energy by producing steam which escapes up your flue, also as most wood is sold by weight, you are only paying for water rather than wood.

We recommend you buy or collect your firewood in spring or summer in order to guarantee proper seasoning. You can also sometimes benefit from off season special prices. Firewood should be kept dry. Always try to keep it undercover and let air flow through between the pieces
