[QUOTE="lknchoppers, post: 6471721, member: 125380"] If I was going to buy logs I would just assume it's green and holding 40%+ moisture content. I cut a couple pieces off some red oak about 24" diameter in the wood yard yesterday that I know was cut at least two years ago if not 3 or 4. The bark was off in spots and the wood was gray on the outside. I split it up and measured the moisture content, it was still 30% on all the pieces, still too wet to sell as good seasoned firewood. Most of the guys around here claim they sell seasoned firewood and they all let it sit in the round, then split it into the truck for delivery. It's not seasoned or dry and doesn't burn very well at all. Most have no idea of how to use a moisture meter or why they would need one. [/QUOTE]
