Why Burning Wet Firewood Is Dangerous
Burning wet firewood produces less heat and creates thick smoke that leads to creosote buildup, a highly flammable substance in your chimney. Over time, this buildup is one of the leading causes of chimney fires.
Firewood with over 20% moisture:
- Produces more smoke
- Gives off less heat
- Wastes your money
How to Test Firewood Moisture Correctly
Before burning, it’s critical to test the moisture content of your firewood.
The right tool:
The Lignomat Mini-Ligno MD/C moisture meter instantly shows if your wood is under the safe 20% moisture threshold.
Pro tip:
Don’t just measure the surface. Split your logs and test the center moisture content for accuracy.
- Over 20% → Let the wood season longer
- Under 20% → Ready to burn
