Splitting and Seasoning Firewood

Freshly cut wood can be up to half water by weight, and a fire burning it spends its heat boiling that water off, with smoke and tar in the chimney. Firewood is ready below 20 % moisture. Splitting opens the wood so it dries, and a stack in sun and wind does the rest: softwoods take about 6 to 12 months, hardwoods such as oak and beech 12 to 24. Test a freshly split face with a moisture meter, never the weathered outside.

Saw to length

Measure your firebox and saw the logs into rounds about 5 cm shorter than it. Keep one wide, flat round as a chopping block.

Split on the block

Stand a round on the block, bark side out of any crack. Feet apart, swing the splitting axe down into the crack or across the centre. Split rounds into pieces about 8–15 cm across.

Wedge the stubborn ones

For knotty rounds, tap a steel wedge into a crack and drive it with the sledgehammer; add a second wedge along the crack if the first sticks.

Stack off the ground

Lay pallets in a sunny, windy spot. Stack the splits in single rows with gaps between them, ends criss-crossed at each end of the row to hold it up.

Cover the top only

Lay a tarp over the top of the stack and weigh it down; leave the sides open so the wind can carry the moisture away.

Test before you burn

After 6 months for softwood or 12 for hardwood, split a piece from the middle of the stack and push the meter's pins into the fresh face. Below 20 % it is ready; if not, test again in a month.
