For some reason my firewood didnt season very well this year and it wont burn. Is there anything i can do to help it burn? I put a big fan on the half a rick i keep in my garage.
as well as the use of a dehumidifier(sp) .... they work wonders next to a pile of wet wood drying along a hot stove/furnace.If you are burning indoors, can you stack a few days worth next to the stove and rotate it everyday? I was amazed at how much moisture could be drawn out of splits in a few days when sitting next to a 500* stove that is running 24/7.
Cherry is a fast drying wood
Burn your Ash now..................that will go ok

Get a hotter fire.
Unless you've got a heated garage, I would bring as much of the wood inside your house as your space ( spouse... ) will allow. At this point you want to put it in the lowest humidity environment that you can, and usually that means inside the house ( next to your stove if possible, up near the ceiling if you can ). You'll find plenty of good methods for storing it outside during the year on here, the basics are keep it stacked, covered on top, and allow for good airflow.
I typically bring about 1/2 cord inside during the burning season and rotate it so I've always got dry wood ready to go. I live in a high humidity environment so this is necessary for me even if my wood has been seasoned/covered for years - the wood just absorbs water from the air and never gets fully dry, especially in the winter.
