By where I meant are you measuring the moisture on the outside of the wood? What do you get when you split it open and measure on an inside face?Rhode island. I use an inexpensive moisture reader.Got pretty good reviews
I too live in the northeast. Seeing this post motivated me to check the moisture of the pin oak I will be burning this winter. It was c/s/s July 2011 so by the time it hits my stove should be 29-30 months seasoned. For now call it about 27 months. Stacked single row facing N-S so it gets the E-W winds we typically have in my area. I took a larger split out of the center of the pile, split it again and took a reading and am below 15%. Give us more info about your stacks/process so we can try and help. View attachment 113499
where i'm at in NJ never had a problem with oak seasoned two years. Never measured with meter but wood always burnt well
