Freshly cut wood retains a lot of water, which makes lighting and sustaining a fire very difficult. Even if it does burn, wet wood gives off less heat, dies quickly, and creates more smoke and soot. Drying wood effectively does take time, though, so it’s best to plan at least six months ahead. But once you cut the wood to the size needed and stack it carefully, all you need to do is wait for the sun and air to dry it out. | Freshly cut wood retains a lot of water, which makes lighting and sustaining a fire very difficult.
