    Putting an insert stove (non boiler) in a reasonably well insulated house.

    Have been reading through here and other forums about the quality of timber.

    So well seasoned and kiln dried is the best, grand.

    Loads of ads on donedeal claiming well seasoned timber - but mostly seems to be fairly lose use of the term.
    Kiln dried obviously at a premium but at least you know what you are getting.

    My question - based on this and the fact that its just a room heater in a well insulated house is the (much criticised on forums) bag of blocks for €4 door to door guy selling much the same as the guys of "great value well seasoned trailer load for €65"

    Ie does "well seasoned" on ads really mean anything?
    (accepting that there is quality sellers out there if you can find them)

    Take one of these with you when buying wood, moisture should be around 20% for wood burners. lots of cheap wet wood around advertised as seasoned. Split a log before buying and take a reading from the centre.
