Firewood can last for years if stored properly, but improper conditions can lead to rapid deterioration. Factors like humidity, ventilation, and storage location significantly affect wood quality. Freshly cut wood needs drying, which can take months to years depending on the type and thickness. Even after five years, wood may not be suitable if stored in damp conditions. Signs of deterioration include a soft structure, visible mold, and unusual weight. A moisture content below 20% is ideal for burning, and using a moisture meter can help assess dryness. Proper storage is crucial to prevent decay and ensure effective heating.
