About This Site
Torvinor.org covers the practical aspects of firewood preparation — drying, stacking, and storage — with a focus on Canadian climate conditions.
This site was created to document practical information on firewood preparation for households in Canada that heat with wood or maintain a wood supply for recreational use. The content draws on publicly available resources from Natural Resources Canada, provincial government guidance, and general forestry reference material.
What This Site Covers
The three main topics addressed are:
- Seasoning firewood — reducing moisture content through stacking and airflow, with drying timelines for common Canadian species
- Stack construction — row and round stacking methods, end support, base preparation, and site selection
- Protection from moisture and pests — cover options, elevation, and identifying signs of insect or rodent activity in stored wood
Editorial Approach
Content on this site describes methods and conditions as they are reported in available reference material. Where exact figures are not known or vary significantly by region, the text uses neutral language rather than specific numbers. Statistics and claims are not invented for this site.
External links go only to government sources, established forestry organisations, or other publicly accountable references.
