What is the fastest method to dry firewood?
Anybody ever stacked split wood in the sun and cover with black plastic?

wood is good left to dry in the sun and then occasionally getting wet then dry helps to season perfectly. Covering the woods man is going to trap the moisture if it is airtight yes, good luck with getting the pile airtight. Like mentioned before, get it seasoned for a season, dry it out and then keep the woods dry. Put under a lean 2 or yeah cover it up so it does not keep getting wet. We like to leave the woods in rounds to season beyond one season. Split it when your ready~KEEP IT DRY thats the ticket. cheers and if ya see happy send him over!
Wood pallets on the ground last about 2 years.I found some plastic pallets. .

The fastest way to dry firewood is in your wood stove. All moisture should be gone in about 2 or 3 hours if you already have a good bed of coals.*

Actually, I too guarantee if you put wood in your wood stove for about 2 or 3 hours it won't be wet. :msp_wink:
Re OP: I've heard of folks even go so far as to use fans to speed up the process of drying wood.
I simply leave it uncovered until the fall.

You could say I was trying to reel in that elusive Musky, yes. I tried not to type it but it was like the keyboard pulled my fingers on to it like a black hole.
I stack and let dry for a summer
Thanks for the pics.
I gotta question. I have an 80' long stack of wood on pallets running north to south and starting tomorrow I'm starting a 2nd row. How close...or how far away from my 1st row should I be? I'm thinking 10' feet? does that sound correct?
I also found the ones I got are "leased" and have an RFID tag in them...wonder how far away they can read those things:msp_blushing:
