Many self reliant people use wood to heat their homes. Some rely on firewood for all heating and some simply supplement or offset their oil, gas, or electric heat with woodheat. Here are some wood heat tips on how to stack split firewood:

• Stack it between trees
• Keep it raised off the ground
• Cords are four feet high, four feet deep, eight feet long
• Use the wedge of split wood to help hold stack
• Stage it for use by time of seasoning

Now that the firewood is split, it is time for the most important part of the process-- seasoning the firewood . . .
