The manner in which you store your firewood is very important when it comes to determining the viability of your wood.
The ground is the worst place that you should store your firewood.
Instead, opt for firewood racks.
First and foremost, if you want to season your wood, firewood-racks are perfect because they will ensure proper circulation of air.
Firewood racks will allow for portable usage and you will be able to keep choosing where to store your wood.
Vermin and insects will also not attack your wood as when you store it on the ground.
Wood seasoning can be described as the drying out of wood.
When it is done the wood will produce less smoke when burning but also produce more heat.
The wood will be lighter to carry and will also have a longer shelf life.
The disadvantage of storing on the ground is that the wood will have no aeration.
The bottom wood will also absorb moisture from the ground and the rest of the wood from the bottom wood.
Firewood-racks will come with vinyl covers to protect the wood from rain and snow.
Storing wood on the ground will make the wood a breeding ground for vermin like mice, insects and snakes.
With a firewood rack you will have higher portability options allowing you to keep your wood 20-25 feet away from any of your major structures and still be easy to transport your wood to where it is needed.
Thanks to keeping your firewood at a distance in the firewood racks, you can season the wood without being scared that termites will spread to your major structures.
Having firewood racks therefore gives you all these benefits of air circulation when seasoning, protection from harsh weather and vermin.
Being portable will also prove to be a major advantage.
