Try it!

It's not the time that makes it burn good. It's the amount of moisture. So if your below 20% moisture in 6 months burn it.

You guys wear me out! We all know that. Almost all wood is good in 2 years! Sometimes, some of us, for whatever the reason, don't have 2 years. The question was, the OP read somewhere that cherry wood be ready in 6 months. So, as we all know, some wood is dryer when cut than others, drys faster, and as some said, the bottom line is, it doesn't matter how long, but how dry. My experience has been that Cherry is dryer when cut and drys faster. Just sayin........The end goal is to keep warm.Valhalla said:Backwoods Savage said:Valhalla said:Two year minimum seasoning for all wood fuel.

I hate to be the one to tell you this but you are wrong and I have burnt enough wood and have aMM and no way all woods take 2 years, what are you gaining if the wood is below 20 % in 1 year or less. I hate to see new posters get the wrong message. If we live close enough to each other I would prove it 2 you with a test.Backwoods Savage said:Valhalla said:Two year minimum seasoning for all wood fuel.

I prefer to know what the % is so if some day I do get behind on wood due to injury or sickness (you preach this) I know what I can burn with 6 months seasoning, I dont need 2 years to get prime wood, it will only get to a point and slow way down drying anyway.Backwoods Savage said:oldspark said:I hate to be the one to tell you this but you are wrong and I have burnt enough wood and have aMM and no way all woods take 2 years, what are you gaining if the wood is below 20 % in 1 year or less.

Of course we know that all wood does not need 2 years drying time. Some wood even needs more! Yes, there are plenty of woods that dry well enough in a year and there are some that dry excellently in 6 months. That is not the point though. If you give it 2 years you will never be sorry nor will you have problems with it.
