Why you should not burn unseasoned firewood?
One of the best ways to reduce your energy bills is to find an alternative way to heat your home during the cold season. One of the most common alternative ways is burning firewood. It is a great idea; however, make sure you choose your firewood carefully. In case you didn’t know, unseasoned firewood is readily available but it is not a good option at all.
What is unseasoned firewood?
Not all firewood is the same. While some wood is ready to use straight away and providing heat for your home, some firewood doesn’t. Unseasoned firewood is firewood that is not yet ready to use. It still needs more time to be seasoned properly before it can be used. It might be much cheaper but it doesn’t provide the same amount of heat. Unseasoned firewood is also called greenwood which means, it hasn’t yet been dried properly.
Why stay away from unseasoned firewood?
It’s attractive because it is much cheaper, but unseasoned firewood uses its energy to remove the remaining moisture from the wood, rather than warming your home. Did you know that the smoke produced by unseasoned firewood can create creosote and leave deposits on your walls? This can cause long term problems in your home as well as being very unhealthy for you. Getting rid of the black stain or creosote can be a tough job too, wasting your precious time.
Unseasoned firewood is also difficult to light. With properly seasoned firewood, it’s easier to start a fire and start producing the heat. To make your life easier, stay away from unseasoned firewood. When choosing firewood, choose wisely – look at the firewood closely and look for the signs of properly seasoned firewood. A quick tip – the drier the wood, the better it will burn.
Why you should not burn unseasoned firewood?

How to identify good firewood
Are you using firewood to heat your home? Great! To get the most out of any fire you should get good quality firewood and it is important to know how to identify it.
Seasoned wood is better!
There are lots of different types of firewood available, and people debate over which is the best type to use. However whatever type of wood is available, choose seasoned wood. Seasoned wood is timber that has been left to dry for 12- 18 months, so the moisture content is below 20%.
The lower moisture content means that the wood will burn better and not smoulder, efficiently heating up your room.
Seasoned wood also offers:
- High quality combustion
- More heat
- Less smoke
- Less production of tar
How to spot a good seasoned wood?
Now that you know that seasoned timber or woods are better, you would want to know how to spot a seasoned timber. Here’s what you should follow:
- Check the end part of the timber. If it’s dark in colour and cracked, it is dry and good to use.
- Try lifting the wood. Dry woods are lightweight so when you can carry it with ease, it’s perfect.
- Hit two pieces together. If it makes a hollow sound, your firewood is of great quality.
- When the bark is hard to peel, it’s not properly dried yet, so stay away from that firewood.

5 Things You Might Not Know About Firewood
You may be confused about some aspects of firewood. Read the following 5 things you might not know about firewood which will put your mind at ease.
- Are they going to ban wood heaters?
- How do I know if the wood is dry enough to burn?
- Why is my neighbour’s chimney smoking?
- What is sustainable firewood?
- What is the best firewood?
Are they going to ban wood heaters?
There have been some restrictions on wood heaters in recent years and some local councils have restricted wood heater installations but this is unlikely to be a widespread practice. In fact, wood heaters are becoming more popular as it is a cost effective method of heating especially as energy and utility costs continue to rise.
Councils will have no reason to ban wood heaters as long as users operate them responsibly and large amounts of smoke are not emitted.
How do I know if the wood is dry enough to burn?
You can test wood with an electrical resistance moisture meter to work out if it is dry enough to burn. Or, simply, split a piece in half and if the middle is darker than the outside the wood is still wet and needs more time for drying.
You can also compare the weight of dry and wet wood as the wet wood will feel heavier. The lighter the wood, the drier it is.
Why is my neighbour’s chimney smoking?
The most common cause for this is the incorrect use of a slow combustion heater causing incomplete combustion of gasses which causes smoke. Air vents need to be left open for at least 15 minutes after adding wood to ensure that fire is hot enough to completely combust gasses, thus preventing smoke.
Your neighbour may also be burning green wood or have a blocked chimney which will restrict the air flow that is cooling the fire below to the right temperature. You will not see any smoke from chimney if the fire is operating properly.
What is sustainable firewood?
According to The Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council Firewood Task Force environmentally acceptable firewood should be a residue or by-product from sustainably managed forests and plantations or from wood processing operations.
If you are collecting your own firewood it should be from an area that has government authorisation and if collecting on private property it should be collected in accordance with environmental guidelines. Yes firewood is sustainable.
What is the best firewood?
In Western Australia, Jarrah is the best firewood.The quality of the firewood depends on your location as each species has its own properties of burning rate, flame and ash generation.

Is burning firewood bad for the environment?
Need to keep warm this winter but concerned about polluting the environment?
No need to worry! Read these 3 points and see how firewood is surprisingly good for the environment.
- Releases less carbon dioxide
- Greenhouse positive
- Carbon sequestration
Releases less carbon dioxide
A study of the greenhouse gas emissions of firewood by CSIRO in 2003 shows that firewood releases less carbon dioxide than other heating energy sources which means burning wood is safe for your health and the environment.
Greenhouse positive
Firewood from plantations is greenhouse positive because the carbon is sequestered in the tree’s root mass. All carbon that is produced during firewood combustion is reabsorbed by trees so they can grow further.
The fossil fuels used to process and transport the wood are the only cause of an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Firewood doesn’t destroy the atmosphere. Hydro stations and solar collectorscan have an adverse effect as they create carbon pollution during their construction phase.
Carbon sequestration
Firewood is best to help lower greenhouse gas emissions by substituting the use of fossil fuels. You can enjoy a warm winter with a lovely ambiance in your home by simply lighting your wood fire. Surprisingly, you can save the earth by burning firewood at home!
Is burning firewood bad for the environment?
Absolutely not! Firewood can be your best winter warmer and money saver as it reduces your reliance on electric heaters to keep you warm during the cold season of winter and early spring. Burn firewood now and be part of saving our planet!

5 Firewood FAQ’s
Firewood is the great for heating you during this winter.
Here are 5 of the frequently asked questions about firewood:
1.If you buy green wood, is it heavier than dry wood?
2.Will buying green wood or wet wood, cost you more?
3.What is the most popular firewood in Western Australia?
4.What are the things to consider in buying firewood?
5.How should I store firewood to prevent bugs attacking it?
If you buy green wood, is it heavier than dry wood?
Yes. Unseasoned or green wood is heavier than dry wood because it contains a lot of moisture (water). If the wood is heavy and has sap leaking out of it then it is not time to burn it. Burning green wood will waste your time waiting long hours to let the water evaporate and dry out enough to give you the heat you are looking for.
To know whether the wood is seasoned, knock two logs together. The logs are seasoned if you hear a sharp ringing sound, cracked on the ends, and doesn’t have that real woody smell.
Will buying green wood or wet wood, cost you more?
Yes, if you buy wood by weight then green wood or wet wood will cost you more because it weighs more than dry wood. Then you will have to store it for a least a season before you can use it.
Will I burn hard or soft wood?
You can burn either of the two. Just make sure that the wood is dry and seasoned. If you want hotter smouldering coals for longer time, burn hard firewood like oak, locust or hickory. For short fires, use soft maple, birch, any soft firewood.
What is the most popular firewood in Western Australia?
Jarrah is the most popular firewood in Western Australia, it is easy to burn and you can buy it locally at West Coast Timbers. At West Coast Timbers we also sell Tuart and Marri if you would like to add a slow burning wood to keep the heat in your house all night long.
How should I store firewood to prevent bugs attacking it?
Construct proper firewood storage to protect the firewood as well as your home from termites and other pests. Locate your storage at least 3 metres from the house to keep pests away. Place logs 15 centimeters off the ground to avoid infestation. Make sure your wood is cover or in a shed to prevent it getting wet.
