The best type of firewood is seasoned firewood, that has been split and dried for 9 to 12 months.
Look for dark or gray in color with split ends.
Bang some pieces together, it should give a cracking hollow sound. It is it a dull thud, there is too much moisture in the wood.
The drier the firewood the less creosote it produces.
