Most available firewood in NJ is the standard type that comes from logging, forestry, or plantations. It’s chopped and sold at home improvement stores, gas stations, and large chain supermarkets. It’s often rather moist, prone to decay, and can be infested. By contrast, kiln-dried firewood has none of these flaws. Here’s why:
The Difference Kiln-Drying Makes
Prepping firewood by kiln-drying achieves several goals that make it superior to standard firewood. The drying process removes most of the wood’s moisture. Moisture-free wood lights more easily and emits heat levels 30 to 40 percent greater than that of regular firewood.
The drying process also kills infestation and mold and leaves the firewood less susceptible to future decay. Before going into the kiln, a dedicated, high-tech machine removes debris, dirt, and pieces of bark. The wood arrives to you clean, intact, and ready to use.
Better Harvesting for Better Planet Health
Firewood in NJ comes from a variety of sources, as mentioned above. Kiln-dried firewood is the result of completed tree removal occurring daily all around the state. This prompt reuse of felled trees makes kiln-dried firewood easier on the planet and ensures that consumers enjoy a healthy variety of wood types.
Since you can order kiln-dried firewood online and have it delivered anywhere, you don’t have to bother with lugging regular firewood home from a store. You also don’t have to expend the time and muscle power to forage, gather, and chop wood yourself.
