Kiln-Dried Firewood in Emerson, GA

Want to know the secret to building the brightest, hottest and longest-lasting fires at your Emerson home? It's using the right type of firewood. Many homeowners are guilty of using low-quality firewood with which to build their fires. Whether it's a softwood variety like pine or a hardwood that hasn't been properly dried, low-quality firewood such as this isn't recommended. Even if you're able to light it, it won't produce the same heat and brightness as high-quality firewood. You can avoid this headache, however, by ordering firewood for your Emerson home here at Cutting Edge Firewood.

How to Maintain Your Fireplace at Your Emerson, GA Home

When building fires in your Emerson home this winter, it's important that you clean and maintain your fireplace. For starters, you should scoop and remove ash after using your fireplace. Wait until the ash is completely cool -- it may take up to 48 hours -- at which point you can use a metal fireplace shovel or scooper tool to remove the ash. Even if the ash is cool, though, you shouldn't discard it in the trash. Rather, place it in a separate metal bin or metal storage container that's dedicated specifically for firewood ash.

In addition to cleaning ash out of your fireplace, you should also get your fireplace inspected on a regular basis. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), homeowners should hire a professional chimney cleaning company to inspect their fireplace at least once a year. During an inspection, a professional chimney cleaner, known as a sweep, will use various tools to look inside your chimney for signs of creosote deposits or other hazards. If necessary, the chimney sweep will also clean these deposits so that you can build better, safer fires at your Emerson home.

Choosing Firewood for Your Emerson, GA Home: What You Should Know

Some people assume that all firewood offers the same burning experience, but this statement couldn't be further from the truth. While the exact number is unknown, some experts estimate that there are more than 60,000 different species of trees in the world, each of which has different characteristics. Oak, for example, is a denser and stronger species than pine. Therefore, oak burns longer and produces more heat than pine.

The way in which firewood has been dried will also affect its performance. Some firewood sold by local vendors isn't dried at all. Rather, these vendors harvest fresh firewood and immediately turn around to sell it to unsuspecting homeowners. The end result is low-quality firewood with a high moisture content that's difficult to light. Air-dried firewood is a step up from fresh firewood. A type of seasoned firewood, air-dried wood is left outdoors for up to a year so that moisture within its pores is released. The driest firewood, however, is kiln-dried wood. Kiln-dried firewood is dried using a high-tech machine that forces moisture out of the wood, resulting in superior-quality firewood.
