You guy's suck! I just got some barkless punkless oak That I am told came down in the ice storm 2 yrs ago. It was a 20 inch leader downed and mostly off the ground. I think it's more than 2 yrs old tho. Oh ya, why you suck. I had to know what the mc was after reading this thread. So I went out in the rainy darkness to grab a 20 inch round and split it. So I could bring it in and stick it with the meter. Got all wet, 1 whack with the fiskers and it popped in 1/2, another to 1/4. Grabbed the split headed to the basement. On the way tripped on a rogue round, stubbing my toe, falling down into the wet grass, with a giant dog CRAP
Any way, The mc was 20% on a rd cut 5 hrs ago, it is in the fire now, ignited like a popcorn fart in hell.

Nice covered stack you have in the background. I came up with the same idea to stack along mt fence line.

If you had split it, maybe it could have been 10%-15% mc, 25%-50% drier. That has got to be significantly higher BTU content. Get yourself a flash light.You guy's suck!
