Moisture Mapping is an innovative technique used to optimize the moisture content of firewood, ensuring efficient combustion and minimizing harmful emissions. This guide explores the fundamentals of Wood Moisture Content (WMC) and establishes the ideal moisture range for firewood.
The ideal WMC for firewood is between 15% and 20%. Wood within this range burns efficiently, with minimal smoke production and maximum heat output. Higher WMC can cause the following:
Lower WMC can lead to:
Moisture Mapping empowers firewood owners and users to optimize the performance and environmental impact of their fuel. By maintaining the ideal WMC, firewood burns efficiently, producing optimal heat while minimizing smoke and harmful emissions.
