How to Best Store Your Firewood

We love the outdoors, but truth be told, when it gets cold, we are indoors a lot.  With winter and cold comes nights by the fire.

If you store firewood, be sure to keep the area clean by occasionally raking the debris away. Wood piles are a great hiding place for bugs so be mindful as you carry the wood into the house that they’re not coming with you.

Just like plants, wood is best managed through proper ventilation. Elevate your stacked wood by about five inches off the ground using concrete blocks. This will ensure that bugs won’t follow the line of moisture to the wood itself, leaving your wood more bug-free and drier for a nice even burn. Want more firewood tips? Visit this site.
