4. The Importance of Low Wood Moisture:
The moisture content of wood greatly influences it's calorific value or 'burning
energy'. The lower the moisture content, the higher the calorific value as the chart
below demonstrates.
Freshly cut timber in our climate has a moisture content of between 40% and 60% so
it's important to let the timber dry sufficiently. This may take up to two years in some
cases. Hard woods such as Ash, Oak and Beech enable a longer burn time, raising
the temperature quicker.
Firebird sells a wood moisture meter which
measures the woods moisture content. To use
simply insert the two probes into the wood, along
the grain a wait a few seconds for a reading. For
proper combustion performance the wood
moisture content should be around 20%.
