NOTE: The use of a firewood moisture
meter is recommended to ensure
the firewood contains less than 20%
moisture.
Seasoning Guide
Softwoods - 6 months to 18 months
Hardwoods - 12 months to 24 months
Logs that are 5” diameter across or larger
should be split in half, three pieces if over
8 inches, and four pieces when over a
foot across. If a tree has been dead for 2
- 4 years it still needs to be cut, split, and
seasoned for 6 to 24 months depending
on the wood.
