Ok...I had some oak felled last November. I waited until this August (last month) to get it split and stacked. Needless to say, the oak is too wet to burn efficiently. The readings I get on my moisture meter are anywhere from 25-35% moist. Plus I have a new EPA stove that doesn't like this moist oak...it burns, but not well.
So, now I've got to buy some firewood. Since I can't find anybody in the area who has oak that's been split for a year or more, I'm gonna buy some cherry that was felled in early spring (around March), and split this month (October).
Question: Will this cherry be better than my oak? Or am I about to buy some wood that is too moist for my EPA approved stove?
