Ok, I'm not a firewood processor. I've just been calling around to see who has seasoned firewood. I've been asking, "how long ago was your firewood split?". The answer I usually get is, "...it's seasoned."
Now, this is getting frustrating because everybody who says their wood is seasoned has only split anywhere from spring to now. When I tell them I'm looking for wood that was split at least a year ago, then they usually will tell me how "good" their wood burns. According to what I've learned on this great site and others, it takes over 12 months to profess that oak is seasoned.
Why don't sellers of firewood understand firewood? Or am I being an anal, type Z+ customer? Or does wood season faster in South Carolina where our winter isn't frozen? I can find my own green wood to split for next year, I need dry wood for this year!
...I'm just sayin'
