For your planning purposes and to save money purchasing wood in the future, the best time to purchase firewood is purchasing seasoned firewood in the summer or early fall and get it stacked properly on your property prior to the burning season.
When you purchase your semi-seasoned firewood, we recommend stacking your semi-seasoned firewood outdoors as soon as possible, preferably in a sunny location. DO NOT stack semi-seasoned firewood in a cold garage, shed or basement because you need the air circulation to speed up the drying out of the firewood. Properly stacked firewood will dry out faster, stays drier, and will last longer than piled, unstacked firewood. Stacked properly, this will be excellent seasoned firewood to burn next burning season.
