Why did Medieval Foresters dry oak in ONE SUMMER while Modern Firewood often takes 2 YEARS?
In this episode of Wulfric’s Old Ways, we examine the real physics behind medieval firewood systems — girdling, coppicing, immediate splitting, and engineered stacking methods like the Holz Hausen. Drawing from historical sources including Vitruvius and Alberti, along with modern research from institutions such as the University of Maryland, Yukon University, Oregon State University, and others, we break down what actually determines drying time.
This is not nostalgia. This is thermodynamics, geometry, and airflow!
You’ll learn:
-Why unsplit rounds retain moisture for over a year
-How coppiced poles dry dramatically faster than mature logs
-Why end-grain exposure changes everything
-The BTU cost of burning wet wood
-How medieval foresters engineered airflow without electricity
-How to dry firewood in one season using nothing but sun and wind
If you burn wood for heat, this isn’t optional knowledge. It’s SURVIVAL MATH!
