When buying wood, you should find the best wood type. Virtually any wood is suitable for an outdoor firepot, but woods that burn more slowly, like oak and maple, are ideal if you need wood for an indoor fireplace. If you're using wood for cooking, choose fruitwoods that can enhance the flavor of your food.

It's also important to consider the moisture content of the wood. The wood you buy should be dry to the touch. If you're buying firewood from a seller, ask them if the wood has been seasoned before you buy. You should pay attention to the size of the wood as well.

Asking the right questions and learning more about firewood can help you avoid problems when you buy. Refrain from assuming that all wood is the same! Instead, take the time to find the best type of wood to use.
