Hello all,
First I wanted to say what a great site this is. I have been lurking for some time now but have a question that I have not seen answered. It might be here just did not see it. I just got a load (about 10 cords) of red oak log's. I have about three cords split and stacked (like a tic tac toe board). I was wondering what would be potential problems with burning it 1-2 months after it was split. It is stacked in a sunny spot with good air circulation and temps between 30-55. I know I will not get the max btu's out of it but not sure if there are any hazards that could come up. Also not sure if you need to know but I am burning in a fireplace extrodinair 36. For anyone that does not know about them, it is a sealed fire box that has a blower that circulates the air around the outside of the fire box and push's the air into the house.
Thanks
