πͺ΅ For wood to burn efficiently in a fireplace or wood stove, a low moisture level is key - 20% or less is ideal. How can you tell if wood is properly seasoned? It should be brown with visible cracks, and the bark might be separating. Firewood that is too wet/green will take a long time to light, won't generate much heat, will smoke, and you might hear hissing or spitting noises as the fire tries to burn off excess moisture. π₯
