Using wet or green firewood can cause:

• Excess smoke
• Poor heat output
• Dangerous creosote buildup in your chimney
• Harder starts and wasted wood

That’s why Wombat Firewood only supplies dry, seasoned wood, ready to burn on delivery — but it’s up to you to keep it that way.

✅ Firewood Storage Tips That Work

1. 1. Keep It Off the Ground

Stack your firewood on pallets, bricks, or a wood rack. Direct contact with soil introduces moisture and rot.

1. 2. Allow for Airflow

Stack your wood loosely to allow air to pass through. Good airflow continues the seasoning process and helps keep it dry.

1. 3. Cover the Top, Not the Sides

Only the top of your stack should be covered — use a tarp, metal sheet, or firewood cover. The sides should remain open to promote airflow and evaporation.

1. 4. Avoid Tight Spaces

Don’t stack firewood directly against your home or garage. It traps moisture, encourages pests, and is a fire hazard.

1. 5. Watch the Snow Line

In Great Falls winters, snow piles up quickly. Store wood where snow and ice won’t block your access or soak your stack.

🧪 How to Tell If Firewood is Dry

Here’s how to know your firewood is burn-ready:

• • It feels lighter than freshly cut wood
  • It makes a sharp “clink” sound when two pieces are tapped together
  • It shows visible cracks or splits at the ends
  • It burns cleanly with little smoke

❌ Common Firewood Mistakes to Avoid

• • Completely covering the pile with tarps — this traps moisture
  • Using green wood in an emergency — it won’t heat your home effectively
  • Waiting too long to restock — demand spikes during storms

💡 Pro Tip from Wombat Firewood

If you’re ordering 2–5 cords at once (yes, we deliver that much), consider rotating older wood to the top or front of the stack so it gets used firs
