One study supposedly claims that firewood with 20% moisture content is the most ideal...I don't believe they stated the exact reasons. I heat mostly using Douglas Fir seasoned split and stacked from spring to fall with hot dry summers. This gives an average of 20% moisture content. I find the D.F wood excellent - superb heat as well as the chimney staying so clean with slow fires in the bridge seasons as well hot fires later...no risk of chimney fire. In the onset of fall this year I was burning Aspen wood between 20 & 30% moisture content which worked great until the first real hot fire from Douglas Fir. I got a chimney fire, I couldn't believe it at first...It was so loud... kind of like thunder or the train if there were tracks in the backyard. Thankfully no damage occurred. I got some good education that evening.
