The smell of dry wood and the resulting crackling fire make firewood a symbol of warmth, cosiness and sustainability. The process of splitting, drying and stacking wood is essential to ensure proper combustion. Well-dried wood, also known as firewood, ensures efficient heat output and minimal smoke.
