Wood is just wood… right? Well maybe not. Burning the right wood makes a huge difference to the efficiency of your stove. Ensure your wood has a moisture content of less than 20%. You can achieve this by buying kiln dried wood or seasoned wood.
It’s a good idea to buy a moisture meter. These handy little gadgets allow you to measure the moisture content in your wood just by touching the device to a log. Very nifty.
If you live a smokeless fuel zone you will need to burn wood with <20% moisture on a DEFRA exempt stove. This is a requirement by law.
