How to Safely Store and Maintain Your Firewood

Storing firewood might seem simple, but how you do it can affect how well it burns. If your firewood isn’t stored correctly, it can get damp and be harder to light, not to mention it’ll burn less efficiently. The key to a great fire is keeping your firewood dry and properly ventilated.

To store firewood properly, keep it off the ground and cover it with a tarp or use a log store to protect it from the elements. This will ensure that your firewood stays dry and ready to burn, even in rainy or snowy weather. And make sure to stack it loosely—air circulation is key to keeping the wood dry.
