Seasoned firewood is created by allowing your firewood to dry out, removing the moisture from within the firewood and is most commonly done by allowing the wood to remain outside by letting natural sun and air to circulate around the wood.
Over a time period of about a year, most wood will be well dried out and considered seasoned firewood. However, hardwoods may take longer. Firewood racks are very popular because they help firewood become seasoned firewood.
Firewood racks are ideal for creating seasoned firewood because it helps raise the wood off the ground. This makes it far easier for the air to circulate and gives the added benefit of keeping insects away from the firewood.
A firewood cover can be placed over the firewood rack to allow the wood to remain dry, keeping snow and rain away from the drying wood, while allowing it to breathe to get the benefits of seasoned firewood.
