I'm watching it snow out the office window and thinking about wood heat. Burning wood to heat your home is sustainable, usually inexpensive, and convenient. So I figured I'd remind everyone that Don't Move Firewood isn't against the use of firewood. Or wood heat, or wood stoves, or outdoor burners, or fireplaces, or campfires, or anything. We like a good warm fire like everyone else.

Getting information about the legality of moving firewood

In some parts of the country, it is illegal to move firewood of any kind. In other places, only some types of wood are legally restricted. And in other places, there are no rules at all. It is confusing, of course.

 

This brings me to a recent question I got from Carmen, a visitor to this site. The place names on this email have been slightly changed to make it anonymous.

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

Don't Move Firewood is mentioned in the November 2010 publication of Martha Stewart Living, and we sure are proud!

 

On page 162 of this month's Martha Stewart Living (available on news stands now!), Don't Move Firewood is listed as a resource for What You Can Do to help fight, as they call it, arboreal blights. Here at Don't Move Firewood, we tend to say just plain old "tree-killing insects and diseases" but however you want to phrase it, it is exciting.
