I take your question earnestly, why would you waste people's time if not? And feel the answer is yes and no. Yes, it can get too dry to (easily) process - so dry it's much harder to cut and split - had an Aussie (Cowboy 254) mention that here just this morning. But no, the drier wood is the better it burns, as less of it's energy is spent liberating the water. Some may argue that modern stoves aren't designed to handle kiln dried wood, but that's a different question. I believe it's pure math, but there will likely be someone shortly say otherwise!can firewood get to dry
or is the dryer the wood would it put out more heat

If it smolders in the fireplace for a while it might500 lb chunks of firewood never get to dry.
Correct. We never leave them as 500lb chunks long enough to dry. We turn them into smaller chunks. Smaller chunks dry fasfer and are easier to move around.500 lb chunks of firewood never get to dry.
