Hardwood vs Softwood
Your appliance performance depends on the quality of the
rewoodyouuse.
Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound.
Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.
Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.
Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower
and are harder to ignite.
Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.
• Starttherewithsoftwoodtobringtheapplianceupto
operating temperature and to establish draft.
Add hardwood for slow, even heat and longer burn time.

Fire Risk.
• DoNOTburnwetorgreenwood.
Store wood in dry location.
Stack wood so both ends are exposed
to air.
Wet, unseasoned wood can cause
accumulation of creosote.
WARNING
NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on
drying conditions.
The majority of the problems appliance owners experience
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.
• Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate
the water instead of heating your home, and
Causes evaporating moisture which cools your chimney,
accelerating formation of creosote.
Seasoned Wood
Cut logs to size
• Splitto6inches(152mm)orlessindiameter
Air dry to a moisture content of not more than 20%
- Softwood-aboutninemonthstodry
- Hardwood-abouteighteenmonthstodry
Storing Wood
Stepstoensureproperlyseasonedwood:
Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and
through woodpile.
• Elevate wood pile o󰀨 ground to allow air
circulation underneath.
Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in.
(152mm)indiametershouldbesplit.
• Wood(whole or split)should bestackedsoboth ends
of each piece are exposed to air. More drying occurs
through the cut ends than the sides.
Store wood under cover to prevent water absorption
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and
ends completely.
