Nothing keeps a house warm like a wood stove, but are you burning your seasoned firewood correctly? Jay’s Firewood & Mulch LLC has provided firewood in St. Louis, MO, and surrounding areas for over 20 years, and they want to help residents stay cozy throughout the colder months. They distribute a variety of hardwoods and even offer firewood delivery so you’ll always have a good supply.

To burn your seasoned firewood efficiently, keep the following tips in mind:

• Clean Your Wood Stove Regularly: Like every part of your house, your wood stove should be cleaned routinely. Clear soot from your stove and flue pipe at least once a year. Clean your wood stove more often if you use pinewood, as it produces more soot.

• Light Your Wood From The Top: Stack a few logs of seasoned firewood into a tight pile and ignite it from the top so the temperature rises quickly. As the fire burns downward, the gasses produced will burn more efficiently and the firewood will last longer. Jay’s Firewood & Mulch LLC offers seasoned oak firewood and hickory firewood for delivery so you’ll always be prepared to light a fire.

• Heat Your Home Through The Night: While you shouldn’t keep a fire going while you sleep, you can warm your entire house effectively with your last fire of the night. Burn large hardwood logs with your stove’s air vents open. When the fire goes out, your home’s insulation will trap the warm air inside, keeping your family comfortable. As a bonus, your wood stove and chimney will still be warm when morning arrives.
