[QUOTE="PlankSpanker, post: 2716280, member: 9263"] I've been burning almost exclusively Red Oak this year and prior years because I have a friend with some acreage where many of the trees have died from Oak Wilt. Yeah it will soak up the moisture but I try to always keep a few pieces "staged" under the stove to dry them out before burning. It's worked well for me but you do have to babysit the fire a bit more to keep it burning hot and not let the creosote build up. Its a more controlled burn but you can still get some decent BTUs out of it. Beats the hell out of a lot of other woods and saves money on propane. Of course I would prefer some kiln dried White Oak or Ash but I'll take what I can get for now. [/QUOTE]
