Category description: Some
firewood is harvested in purpose grown "wood lots", but in heavily wooded areas it is more usually harvested from natural forests. Deadfall that has not started to rot is preferred, since it is already partly seasoned. Standing dead
timber is considered better still, as it is both seasoned, and has less rot. Harvesting this form of
timber reduces the speed and intensity of bushfires. Harvesting
timber for
firewood is normally carried out by hand with chainsaws. Thus, longer pieces - requiring less manual labour, and less chainsaw fuel - are less expensive (but the user must ensure that the lengths will fit in the firebox!) Prices also vary considerably with the distance from wood lots, and quality of the wood.
