Wood drying

Correct and responsible wood-burning starts with proper fuel.

Beside aspects such as type of wood and dimensions of the logs, the moisture content plays an important role. Wood which is too dry will burn too fast and incomplete. Wood which is too wet will burn poor and produce a lot of soot, tar and odor.

A well-designed wood-drying setup is vital in the correct drying of firewood. Ecolink Solutions can give advice in the drying of wood and supply different drying setups.
