Spring may not be the first season that comes to mind when you think of stocking up on firewood, but there are several compelling reasons why it’s the perfect time to prepare for the colder months ahead. At ATH Firewood, we encourage our customers to consider the many benefits of purchasing firewood in the spring. Here’s why this strategy is a win for both your fireplace and your wallet.

Optimal Seasoning Time
Buying firewood in spring gives it ample time to dry out or 'season' before the winter. Seasoning firewood is crucial because it reduces the wood's moisture content, making it easier to ignite and more efficient to burn. Firewood that has been allowed to dry over several months burns hotter, cleaner, and with less smoke, providing you with a better, more environmentally friendly fire when the cold weather hits.

Avoiding the Rush
By purchasing your firewood in spring, you avoid the autumn rush when most people are scrambling to secure their winter supplies. This not only ensures you get the best quality wood available but also means you won’t be left in the cold if supplies run low later in the year.

More Time for Proper Stacking and Storage
Buying firewood in spring gives you plenty of time to properly stack and store it. Proper storage is key to protecting the wood from rot and pests and to continue the drying process. With plenty of time on your hands, you can set up an ideal storage area that keeps the wood dry and well-ventilated, further enhancing its quality by the time winter arrives.

Preparing for Unexpected Cold Snaps
While winter is traditionally the season for roaring fires, unexpected cold snaps in the fall can catch many people off guard. Having a ready supply of seasoned firewood means you’re prepared to keep your home warm and cozy, whatever the weather.
