Buying Firewood
Potomac Garden Center has the best firewood for sale. Seasoned Mixed Hardwood – consistent size, quality firewood for quick starting, clean burning & cozy fires during the cool weather. Delivery & stacking available. A standard cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet of wood, generally measured as a pile 8 feet long by 4 feet tall by 4 feet deep.
Seasoned Wood
Freshly cut wood can be up to 45% water, while seasoned firewood generally has 20-25% moisture content. Seasoned firewood is easier to start, produces more heat, and burns cleaner. The important thing to remember is that the water must be gone before the wood will burn.
Storing Firewood
Even well seasoned firewood can be ruined by bad storage. Exposed to constant rain or covered in snow, wood will reabsorb large amounts of water, making it unfit to burn and causing it to rot before it can be used. Wood should be stored off the ground if possible and protected from excess moisture when weather threatens

Note: Since the presence of the emerald ash borer, a highly invasive tree pest, has been confirmed in Howard County The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) has created a quarantine area in Charles (detected 2008), Howard (detected June 2011), and Prince George's (detected 2003) Counties. Potomac Garden Center carries firewood not from these areas.
