Why checking in firewood matters

Moisture, piece size and storage conditions can affect how reliably fuel lights and burns. Keeping fuel dry and free of contaminants helps support predictable cooking.

Practical consideration

Store fuel according to manufacturer guidance and keep it clear of ignition sources and moisture.
