Ensuring your firewood has the right moisture content

A freshly chopped tree has a moisture content of between 40 and 65% depending on the type of tree and the time of the year it was first cut. Any firewood that has a moisture content of more than 50%, it is green wood. Firewood is dry when its moisture content between 15 an 20 percent. Experts on the matter however claim that firewood is at its best as an energy source when it has moisture content of 20% or even less. The most accurate way to ensure your firewood has the right moisture content is by using a wood moisture meter. You can also confirm if your firewood is dry through the washing-up liquid test or the sound test.
