seasoned wood
Air-dried timber ready
Seasoned wood is lumber that has been dried to reduce its moisture content, making it suitable for burning or construction.
Fresh-cut wood contains too much water to burn efficiently or to remain stable when built with.
Seasoning happens naturally over months of air-drying or quickly in a kiln: Stack the seasoned wood away from the house.
The term distinguishes ready-to-use wood from green wood.
