When it comes to building a great fire, the type of wood that you use can make a big difference. Accessibility to various types of wood differs by region, but Walden is here to give you a quick rundown of what you should be looking for when choosing your wood, as well as proper firewood storage techniques.
Fresh-cut firewood simply won't burn the way you want it to. Recently split or cut firewood, typically features a moisture content of about 100%. This means half the wood's weight is from water.
Gather 'round the fire pit! Crackling flames, dancing embers, and the warmth of loved ones nearby. It's a picture of outdoor bliss. But what if your fire sputters, smokes like a chimney, and leaves you with more frustration than warmth? The culprit might be something invisible: airflow.
