Firewood - Perkco Supply, Inc.

A Home Guide for Warm and Efficient Heating

Firewood remains one of the most reliable and eco-friendly heating options for homes. Whether you're using it as your primary heat source or for cozy ambiance, understanding how to select, store, and use firewood properly can make all the difference. At Perkco Supply, Inc. in Exeter, ME, we offer both green and seasoned firewood to meet your heating needs.

Choosing Between Green and Seasoned Firewood

Seasoned Firewood has been dried for 6-12 months and contains less moisture, making it easier to ignite and burn more efficiently. It produces more heat and less smoke than green wood.

Green Firewood is freshly cut and contains higher moisture content. While it's more affordable, it requires proper storage time before burning. Green wood is ideal if you're planning ahead for next season.

Proper Firewood Storage

To get the best performance from your firewood:

Stack wood off the ground on pallets or a rack
Cover the top to protect from rain and snow
Leave sides open for air circulation
Store in a sunny location to speed drying
Keep at least 20 feet from your home to prevent pest issues

Tips for Efficient Wood Burning

Start with smaller pieces and kindling
Ensure proper airflow in your stove or fireplace
Never burn treated wood, painted wood, or trash
Clean your chimney annually to prevent creosote buildup
Use a moisture meter to ensure wood is below 20% moisture
