In short
- Firewood is a two-year cycle: felled this winter, seasoned over summer, burned next winter.
- Keep three stacks of stock: this winter (dry), next winter (seasoning), new felling or purchase.
- Felling licence applied for in spring, felling from November to February, splitting by May.
- Before the season: chimney swept, stove checked, alarms tested.
- Keep a budget and a log: after one season you know the exact cost and consumption.
