There was a huge thead on this last year with tons of discussion. Do a search. As I recall, results vary a great deal, and most of the time the forum concluded that is was impractical to leave the leaves on. If the wood can be split green, it's usually better to cut rounds and split immediately. Some species, such as elm and cottonwood, refuse to split green. In that case, you should cut the rounds to length and look for a check up on the ends to indicate that the wood can be split.Anyone ever try cutting trees down when the leaves are on and then walk away for a week or two depending on the weather? The leaves continue to pull moisture out of the wood and once they turn brown, you cut the tree up. I've found this probably cuts seasoning time in half. Anyone else do this? And if so, what are your results?
and go through 2-3 times the wood at that rate that well seasoned air dried wood would require...now if you are joking..then ...opcorn:opcorn:opcorn:The fastest way I know of is to season it in my boiler over a bed of hot coals. Moisture starts evaporating almost instantly.
