    Ready dates follow EPA Burn Wise guidance: softwoods about 6 months, hardwoods at least 12 months after splitting. Shade, rain and stacking change that, so confirm with a moisture meter on a freshly split face before you burn: under 20%. Your woodpile stays on this device.

    Seasoning, Briefly

    • Target under 20% moisture. EPA’s Burn Wise guidance: season for at least six months, store outdoors off the ground, and cover only the top.
    • Hardwoods take longer. EPA’s health and safety tips say softwoods such as Douglas fir need six months and hardwoods like oak at least 12.
    • Test a fresh split face. A moisture meter reading from the outside of a log reads drier than the middle (Cornell Cooperative Extension).
