Tip of the Month: If you use firewood to heat your house or for emergency purposes, now is the time to get your wood supply. Fresh wood takes time to season and requires warm temperatures and wind to facilitate the wood drying process. Don't wait until the first cold spell to secure wood heat for you and your home.
