Wood Scrounge

Over the summer I whacked up 3 oak logs that had been on the ground ~3 years. THere was about 3/4" of spongy wood and the rest was is great shape. I cut, split and stacked it in a shed so it has been very dry. The problem is the stuff just won't burn. I throw a piece is surrounded by sweet birch and maple it just gets black and forms a few coals. The log is there all day before it finally slowly burns away.
What the heck? I can't imagine it's not seasoned enough and it has been in a try environment for 4 months. I am going to whack it up into smaller pieces to see if it burns any better.
I have burned oak many times in the past, can't understand this though???
