Log Length
Logs should be cut about 1” (25 mm) shorter than the rebox so they t in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long make load-
ing the stove very dicult. e most common standard length of rewood is 16” (400 mm).
e pieces should be a consistent length, with a maximum of 1” (25 mm) variation from piece to piece.
Piece Size
Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit
logs are dicult to ignite because they don’t have the sharp edges where the ames rst catch. Logs as small as 3” (75 mm) should
be split to encourage drying.
Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3” to 6” (75 mm to 150 mm) in cross section. Having a range of sizes makes
starting and rekindling res much easier. Often, the rewood purchased from commercial suppliers is not split nely enough for
convenient stoking. It is sometimes advisable to resplit the wood before stacking to dry.
