In addition to writing bestseller historical novels and more, Norwegian writer Lars Mytting has penned a fascinating non-fiction book about the art of chopping, stacking, and drying firewood.
Norway has long, dark, and cold winters, and the historical Norwegian household needed large amounts of firewood to keep warm.
In his 1815 book about practical farming, Norwegian farmer and army officer Lorentz Diderich Klüwer wrote: “Firewood cut and prepared during January is the best, as it contains a minimum of sap. It gives off more heat – and burns longer.”
Lars Mytting expands on and details this valuable knowledge – passing on the torch from his Norwegian ancestors.
