Un gospodar a pus lemnele în două stive, iar una s-a uscat în timp ce cealaltă a rămas umedă. Care e secretul? • Newsweek România

A study on firewood stacking revealed that proper air circulation significantly affects drying efficiency. One stack was elevated and open, while the other was compact and covered, leading to different moisture levels. For optimal drying, wood should be separated from the ground and protected from rain while allowing airflow. A moisture content of around 20% is ideal for burning. Using a moisture meter is recommended, but measuring the inner wood is more accurate. Drying time varies by wood type and conditions, with softwoods taking at least six months and hardwoods often requiring a year or more. Proper stacking can enhance heating efficiency during winter.
