Frequently Asked Questions
How soon should firewood be seasoned before use?
Firewood should ideally be seasoned for at least 6 to 12 months to reduce moisture content, which improves burning efficiency and reduces smoke in residential fireplaces and outdoor fire pits. Proper seasoning also helps prevent creosote buildup in chimneys, lowering the risk of fires. Seasoned wood is lighter and often has visible cracks, indicating it’s ready for use.
What types of wood are best for burning in Brookeville homes?
Hardwoods such as oak, hickory, and maple are preferred for residential heating in Brookeville due to their longer burn time and higher heat output compared to softwoods. These woods produce less smoke and fewer sparks, making them safer and more comfortable for indoor fires. Softwoods may be used for kindling, but are less efficient for sustained heat.
How much firewood do I need for a typical winter?
The amount varies depending on usage, but an average household in Montgomery County often requires 3 to 5 cords of firewood to heat throughout the winter months. Factors such as the size of your home, the quality of insulation, and the efficiency of your fireplace also affect your firewood needs. Planning and ordering early ensures you won’t run out during peak cold periods.
How should I store firewood to keep it dry?
Store firewood off the ground in a covered, well-ventilated area. Proper stacking and protection from rain help maintain dryness and improve seasoning. Using pallets or a firewood rack prevents moisture absorption from soil, while leaving space between logs promotes airflow. Avoid covering the entire stack with plastic to prevent moisture from becoming trapped.
What safety precautions should I take when using firewood?
Use properly seasoned wood, maintain your chimney, keep firewood away from the home’s foundation, and follow local fire regulations to ensure safety. Additionally, always use a fire screen or door to prevent sparks, and never leave fires unattended. Regular chimney inspections and cleanings are crucial for avoiding dangerous blockages and fire hazards.

Yes, we provide professional firewood cutting and splitting tailored to your fireplace or wood stove requirements for convenience and optimal use.

Spring cleanup for a complex landscape. The crew's service was punctual, thorough, and very professional. The result was excellent. This compliments a last-fall-cleanup which was equally satisfying.
