About
About Morning Hearth Co
Morning Hearth Co is an informational reference site about heating with wood in Canada. It gathers practical notes on three questions that come up every heating season: which firewood to choose, how long it needs to dry, and how to store it so it stays dry through winter.
What this site covers
The focus is deliberately narrow. The articles deal with the differences between hardwood and softwood, seasoning times and moisture content, and dry storage methods. Topics outside firewood and wood storage are out of scope.
How the notes are written
The material is written in plain, descriptive language and leans on publicly available guidance from agencies such as Natural Resources Canada, the Government of Canada, the US EPA Burn Wise program and the USDA Forest Products Laboratory. Where a precise figure is not firmly established, the text uses general ranges rather than inventing exact numbers.
Not professional advice
These notes are general reference material. They do not replace your local fire code, building regulations, or the installation and operating instructions for your specific stove, fireplace or chimney. Requirements differ by province and municipality.
