    seasoned?

    all due respect B-edwards, and this is not meant as any sort of flaming, but Where are you located? What kind of wood? do those customers return? In Western PA where I live if you cut something today and try to burn it this winter that stuff will bubble and hiss and spend all its BTU's...

    Firewood has fungi (pictures) should I keep it or dump it?

    oh, no! you don't want to burn that nasty stuff. I'll be over as soon as possible to pick it up...:D kidding of course- either just tarp the top or as I do leave untarpped for the summer and slap a tarp on end of september.

    Wood pile

    David what are you dropping the wood onto in the first pick?

    Already getting calls for fire wood

I am hoping next winter to heat 90% wood. I have access to a property that was just logged- all cherry. It...
