The use of renewable sources of energy is a positive gesture for the planet. In addition to being a renewable energy source, firewood does not contribute to the greenhouse effect when burnt.

Fireplaces are popular as primary heat sources for homes in Sydney. The rising costs of traditional home heating fuels have led many individuals to use firewood instead. Firewood is a renewable energy source. It is highly clean, efficient and safe.

The secret to exceptional firewood is properly seasoned firewood. Regardless of whether you are heating your home for the winter, or simply enjoy a nice fire on the weekends and holidays, seasoned firewood is a must.

Professioinal firewood company in Sydney ensures well-seasoned Firewood Delivery in Sydney. This means it’s been cut, split and dried out of the weather for around two years to remove most of the moisture from it. Because of moisture requiring more energy to be burned, it can also take longer to ignite. This can be a big pain if you depend on burning wood to heat your home.

Once you ignite green firewood, it won’t burn as well or produce as much heat. Lighting seasoned firewood is quite simple and cost-effective. Creosote is a top concern for anyone using a wood stove. This chemical is released by burning any wood, but burning wet wood dramatically  rises the rate of creosote buildup on your chimney, raising the risk of a chimney fire.

Using well-seasoned firewood can help keep your home safer. Wet wood also increases smoke and soot output. In early stages of burning, gasifying occurs which emits harmful pollutants. This can colour your glass in front of your fireplace, the brick on your fireplace and is also harder on the environment.

Properly seasoned wood or removing moisture from the wood increases the efficiency of heating in a wood burning stove. If there is water present in the firewood, some of the heat energy created by burning will need to be used to remove the water –rather than to warm your home.

Seasoning wood reduces its moisture content to 10 – 20%. This makes your wood less smoky and in addition is less difficult to light and it similarly burns hotter than wood that has not been readied.

Breaking at the terminations of firewood is a traditional sign that your firewood is dry. If you bang two bits of firewood together and they sound empty, that means they are probably dry. In the event that banging the pieces together makes a dull accident, they are still extremely wet. Dry wood will feel lighter conversely with wet wood.

A well-seasoned firewood can make a big difference in how efficient your fires are. If you find a vendor, test the firewood yourself. Pick a couple of wood logs unpredictably off the truck and pop them into the fireplace with fuel and folded newspaper. If the wood logs contact off quickly, the wood is set up to go. If they sputter, pop and smoke, take a pass. Choose well-seasoned firewood delivery in Sydney to improve firewood burning efficiency.
