[QUOTE="branchbuzzer, post: 2579238, member: 49063"] Do you have anything else to burn that's seasoned besides the oak? You're probably going to have an awful lot of trouble getting it to burn well without something else to help it along and keep it lit. Oak has lots of water in it when green. Combine that with it being dense wood and you have a very tough to burn stick of wood on it's own. The best way, other than just waiting for it to season, is to be using something else as a helper to keep it ignited, even if it's so called "junk wood" like poplar or the like. If you have to break down and buy some dry wood, that might be better than constantly tending a cold and smoky fire made of green wood. [/QUOTE]
