I agree , my wood wood definitely needs to sit inside by the burner a couple days before burning it. and that is the 2 year split and stacked stuff. was dry as can be mid summer, i should have brought some in then.So, everyone agrees that you need dry weather for while. I agree also. This has been the worst early fall weather that I have ever seen for firewood collection or processing and also the worst for crop harvesting. The two tend to go hand in hand. Flooded fields are everywhere and will take days to dry out. Wood that I split and thought was dry has been soaked.
Tomorrow I will again try to collect hardwood that I can split and burn in my stove or sell immediatly if there is a surplus. That has been impossible to do for the past two months. 066blaster and I are on the same page.
One thing I have noticed that is really rare. The wood that I split from big rounds that I cut last spring is drier that anything that I split and stacked outdoors, even splits that were stacked off the ground on pallets. No sun, calm winds, and lots of rain produced this. At least the center heartwood from the rounds never got submerged in mammoth rain. In this case, the bark actually protected the wood like an umbrella.I agree , my wood wood definitely needs to sit inside by the burner a couple days before burning it. and that is the 2 year split and stacked stuff. was dry as can be mid summer, i should have brought some in then.
