HOW TO CHOOSE AND PREPARE WOOD FOR WINTER ?
Tomorrow officially begins astronomical autumn. But the autumn aura has been with us for several days now. For those who have not prepared wood for heating already in the summer, it really is high time to start preparing your own wood for your stove or fireplace! Heating with your own wood not only saves money - compared to buying already prepared firewood, the prices of which continue to rise.
For heating, we recommend hardwoods such as beech, hornbeam or birch. The wood of fruit trees is also suitable.
Use well-dried wood for heating, as wet wood burns much worse. Our tip: useful wood moisture meters are widely available on the market - the so-called wood moisture content should be less than 20%.
A number of proven tools will make it easier for you to cut wood yourself: a circular saw, a quality chainsaw such as the HECHT 45 petrol saw, a cutting stand with a chainsaw holder, a horizontal or vertical wood splitter.. .
Remember to store cut and split wood in a dry and well-ventilated place, such as a shed.
