[QUOTE="mainewoods, post: 4658515, member: 40238"] Really better to scrounge dead standing trees than burn green wood. But if no other choice, small diameter green ash and maple will dry somewhat faster. I have brought in green split wood and filled a wood rack, in a warm room with a box fan blowing on it, and it helps speed up the drying process. You can hear it snap and crack as the moisture is drawn out. Not ideal, but the longer you have the wood at room temp and a fan constantly blowing on it, the more moisture will be removed. Burn it hot and don't damp it down any more than is necessary. Dead standing wood is even better, same method. [/QUOTE]
