Essential Firewood Regulations for Port Deposit

To protect our beautiful Maryland forests from invasive pests and diseases, specific regulations are in place for firewood in Port Deposit:

• All firewood brought into the area must be treated, dried, or certified.
• It is strongly advised to burn all brought-in wood and not move it to new locations. This practice helps contain any potential pests to the area where the wood was intended to be burned.

Smart Burning Tips for Local Residents

Firewood delivery in this area typically involves easier, more rural drop-offs, with less concern for navigating tight urban driveways common in larger cities. This often makes for a smoother delivery experience directly to your property.

For a more efficient and cleaner burn, we highly recommend investing in a moisture meter. Well-seasoned firewood should ideally have a moisture content below 20%. Burning drier wood not only produces more heat and less smoke but also significantly reduces creosote buildup in your chimney, contributing to safer heating.

By planning ahead, understanding local regulations, and employing smart burning practices, Port Deposit residents can enjoy a warm and cozy season.
