Why does water put out burning wood?
The burning wood needs heat and oxygen as fuel. When burning wood has heat it has energy and water can quickly deprive the wood of its energy. When water comes in contact with the burning wood it takes the heat and the water turns into water vapor, a gas. The gas rises, and therefore, the heat is quickly taken from the burning wood. This is all due to water having a low boiling point. Imagine pouring water on the burning wood. Steam and smoke is produced, which is the water taking the heat into the sky, extinguishing the fire.

What happens when you burn fresh cut wood in your fireplace?
Wet wood does not burn well. Freshly cut "green" (live) wood can be up to 80 percent water. This water has to be converted to steam and leave the wood before it can burn. While this is happening, the temperature that the wet wood can reach is limited to less than 300 degrees Fahrenheit, dramatically lowering the heat produced by the primary burn. Additionally, the rising steam can significantly extinguish the secondary burn occurring above. Always dry your wood by seasoning it before burning. It usually takes at least six months to dry wood to the desired 20% moisture content for burning, but can often take 12 months or more.
