Homeowners often overlook proper firewood seasoning, leading to smoky fires. Ensuring adequate ventilation and air circulation around logs is crucial, even more so than just covering them. Green wood burns inefficiently, wasting energy and increasing smoke. Properly seasoned wood, with moisture below 20 per cent, burns hotter and safer, requiring careful planning for different wood types.
