Energy Efficiency Wood fireplaces can be a stunning amenity, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. They aren't energy efficient and can contribute to air pollution if they are not maintained correctly.

The main fuel used in a traditional wood burning stove is firewood, which is typically bought in a face cord or full cord (measured at 4'x8'x8'). Before burning firewood, it should be "seasoned" in order to decrease the amount of water in it and increase its energy density. If the wood is damp, it won't burn efficiently and will result in a lot of creosote. The process of preparing wood for seasoning can take months or even a whole year dependent on the weather and climate conditions.
