How to choose firewood for heating
For effective heating, it is important to pay attention to the characteristics of wood: flammability, thermal conductivity, smoke and ash formation. It is best to choose firewood that burns for a long time, gives off a lot of heat and leaves little ash.
The moisture content of firewood directly affects the efficiency of its use. Freshly cut wood contains up to 50% moisture, so it must be dried before the heating season. This will take about three months, after which the firewood will be usable.
