- Let's get into the woods with stacking, storing and seasoning.
Summary:
- Protect your wood pile from above and below. Keep your wood off the ground and give it some shelter.
- The goal of seasoning your wood is to find the best way for it to dry out and keep dry.
- Only burn wood that has less than 20% moisture. This will help you avoid too much smoke and your woodstove will thank you.
- Stay warm and cozy!

Me: Never had a wood stove, only once chopped wood, doesn’t need a wood stack, doesn’t even have a garden 🪴 but I still love to watch your videos 😅❤😊
Pro tip, Don’t store your wood in your unfinished basement. Carpenter ants are real home wreckers. Also, don’t stack it right against your house where it will trap moisture and snow and not allow your house to breath and dry out. Lastly, don’t neglect getting your chimney swept. Chimney fires are terrifying and expensive. Two years ago, I put it off to save a few hundred bucks. I was fortunate that the house and yard didn’t catch because there was a thick layer of snow, but the heat of the chimney fire damaged the bricks. I had to spend the rest of the season not supplementing my oil furnace with my wood stove , which was very expensive and had to get my chimney rebuilt in the spring which cost a few thousand bucks. All in all, spent about five grand extra to save a couple of hundred. I made my mistake so you don’t have to.
Anyone else hoping for an hour long or so Christmas Special of Nicole chopping and stacking wood? That would be so relaxing to watch.
Hi. Norwegian fella here, I love this. If I wood go out and ask a fellow chap, about woodstoring and chopping, and depening on the guy, It wil be 1000 diffrent answers. so Now I listen to a canadian lady, who knows how to set up some wood. so thank you for all the EASY TO FOLLOW instructions. Thanks Nicole, keep on chopping!

'Super wholesome Canadian lesbian with arms that make me feels ways about things chopping wood and giving life advice' is not a youtube rabbit hole I ever saw myself falling down, but here we are.
Nicole is one of the most charming and real people ever. Love the videos.
Nicole has the best double-entendres. ("Wet wood" indeed...)
NOW I KNOW WHY YOU LOOK FAMILIAR… You’re the female version of, ma boi, Scott Cramer.
I always give them a good drop on the ground before bringing 'em inside too! Bugs like to hang out in there and you don't want to bring that in the house. (At least in Missouri where there are still bugs in early winter)
I have always loved a good camp fire. A neighbour of ours had a fire wood hut (and a small sawmill) and would tell us to grab what we wanted. That wood was almost no smoke at all. I became obsessed in this 'magic'.
Holy schnikes... I've chopped & stacked a ton of firewood in my day (early days in the rural Pacific NW of Washington), and I've never thought about using a wedge between two trees as a way to keep wood off of the ground, (a la timestamp @
