About Decatur, GA
Decatur is an incorporated city located in DeKalb County, GA.

Today, Decatur is one of the most populated cities in the Greater Atlanta Area, with a 2013 census showing that approximately 20,148 residents live in the city.

And with downtown Atlanta just 5 miles away, Decatur residents can easily commute to and from The Peach State's capital.
What to Expect When Using Kiln-Dried Firewood at Your Decatur, GA Home
There's no substitution for kiln-dried firewood when building fires at your Decatur home. Whether it's oak, hickory or cherry, you can rest assured knowing that it will provide you and your family with the highest performance possible. What is kiln-dried firewood exactly, and why should you use it at your Decatur home? Kiln-dried firewood is any firewood that's undergone a kiln-drying process involving a pressurized vacuum chamber. The firewood-drying process was invented in the 1980s by Anthony Cutara. In 1987, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) published the procedure in a document, explaining how kiln-dried firewood produces more heat and with greater efficiency than other types of firewood.
With kiln-drying, wood logs are placed into a pressurized vacuum chamber where they are exposed to steam via a heat exchanger. For hardwood logs, temperatures inside this chamber can reach up to 176 degrees. The steam, combined with the pressurized atmosphere, extracts moisture from the wood. Kiln-drying is a faster and more effective way to reduce the moisture content of firewood than traditional air-drying. Air-drying can take up to a year, whereas kiln-drying only takes a few weeks. While all kiln-dried firewood has been processed using this method, some is better than others. The kiln-dried firewood sold here at Cutting Edge Firewood, for instance, has been dried for 12 times longer than the USDA's standard.
