I'm pretty sure live trees are harvested, cut to length and split into firewood, dried for two years, and sold. It's sort of necessarily true that the trees used are dead. I think the point is: many are killed specifically to produce firewood.
- alamortsubite 6y agoCan you please provide a reference? Writing as someone with a wood stove, with neighbors with wood stoves, whose fuel comes from trees that are not felled for firewood, I'm very skeptical this is true in the context of the article we're discussing.
- NoImmatureAdHom 6y agoI can't, and it's entirely possible you're right about your wood and your neighbors. Some of the wood I could buy in the U.S. is birch harvested in the Baltics. I've seen videos of harvesting operations that are definitely harvesting live birch and splitting it with equipment that's all designed with that in mind. But I've got no proof for you!
