  1. How to Properly Season Wood for Burning Properly seasoning wood is essential for efficient, clean, and safe burning. By drying firewood to the right moisture level, you’ll boost heat output, reduce smoke, and protect your Regency wood fireplace or stove from creosote buildup and performance issues. What is Seasoned Wood? Seasoned wood is firewood that has been properly dried for at least one full season, bringing its moisture content down to around 15%. This makes it perfect for burning in a Regency wood stove, insert, or fireplace. Burning unseasoned wood reduces efficiency, creates excess smoke, and leads to creosote buildup in the chimney. How to Tell if Your Wood is Properly Seasoned Properly seasoned wood looks pale, feels light, and often shows cracks or peeling bark. When two seasoned logs are struck together, they produce a hollow sound instead of a dull thud. To be sure, use a moisture meter—Regency recommends keeping your firewood around 15% moisture for optimal performance. Why Seasoning Wood Matters Using seasoned wood helps your Regency wood fireplace or stove burn hotter, cleaner, and longer. It improves efficiency, reduces emissions, and prevents damage from excess creosote buildup—keeping your unit performing safely and effectively for years. Best Practices for Seasoning Wood Split large logs into smaller pieces to speed up drying. Store them in a covered area with good airflow, stacked on pallets to stay off the ground. Plan at least 12–18 months ahead, and always follow the “first in, first out” rule to use the oldest, driest wood first. Properly seasoned wood ensures your Regency fireplace delivers maximum warmth and efficiency all season long. Regency Fireplace Products (03) 9799 7277
