Sounds easy, right? If it were this easy we would never receive calls about wood burning appliances not working properly. Guess what? It is not the stove! It is your firewood. Poor quality firewood will give you plenty of problems, from low heat to plugged rain caps. Here are the basics of firewood. If your firewood isn’t seasoned properly seasoned (it is too green (wet) or too old (deteriorating) you won’t have a good fire and your wood burner won’t work well.
