Knowing that larger splits take longer to dry out than smaller splits, many people split fairly small to get wood seasoned quickly when they do not have a load of well seasoned wood to burn. I have a friend here who had a stove installed a month ago and he only has a small amount of decent wood (less than a cord). He does have plenty of wood that may season for next fall, but I was wondering whether he should split it down more or saw the splits in half. I was thinking about halving the length of splits as wood dries quicker from the ends than the sides. I helped him get the wood (mostly willow) a couple of weeks ago.
Any thoughts?
(Out of interest, he has the same make stove as us, after seeing ours last winter with a load of free cherry keeping our lounge at a steady 85f during a cold spell........)
