I recently saw how the San Fran Bay Area requires firewood dealers to designate whether wood is seasoned (20% moisture content or less) or not. And, if its not, the consumer has to be labeled: “This wood does NOT meet air quality regulations for moisture content and must be property dried before burning.†I suspect most folks on this forum will think its just another example of the California nanny state. But providing the consumer with moisture content info I think is a good thing. Most states have Weights & Measures regulations saying wood has to be advertised by the cord and the seller has to provide a receipt with his name, address, volume delivered, etc. I'd like to see more firewood retailers show up to make deliveries with a moisture meter. I'm surprised more consumers don't ask for this, if they don't think they can tell what seasoned wood looks, smells and sounds like. Anyone know of any cities or counties that have done anything in this area?
