The Best Way to Season Your Firewood
Ойын-сауық
In an average winter, here in New Hampshire, we will burn around 4-5 cords of wood. Inside the home, we use a wood stove and it is our primary means of heating throughout the winter.
We harvest all of our cordage from our own land or from those looking to remove trees from their land (dying, dead, or threatening trees). Over the years, we have tested and tried various ways of seasoning firewood and have it down to pretty much a science (at least for what works for our family).
Would love to hear about other methods and techniques you guys are using. Feel free to leave a comment below with any tips and tricks.

Good video,,,I have been cutting, splitting and burning wood for heat for over 50 years. My favorite, here in Northern California is black oak ( unless you can get almond, which beats everything).

I've never worked with almond! Have to assume that it's higher btu's though huh? You guys have been slammed by snow the last couple seasons. Must go through some wood? Thank you for watching!
You have nice woodpiles, i also have lots of wood, i cover the top and put big rocks on it so wind does not blow away, here lots of wind in south of spain and almost always from south so i stack my piles east west!

Thank you! They are revolving as I'm sure yours are. I do about 70ish cords a year and recently I've been cutting a lot of dead ash trees that are ready to burn right away. That's how I orient my piles too! Wind is almost always more out of the south, so they are currently facing e/w! Thank you for watching!!
All looks good to me! I cringe when I see these firewood channels tossing wood into pallet bunkers. That's just a terrible way to season wood lol
