This morning I had to dump a good sized cottonwood to get at a couple of elms I wanted to drop. After I got the elms loaded on the dump truck I had alittle room left so I bucked up some of the cottonwood till it filled the truck. I've never burnt CW in a woodstove, only in the out door firepit cuz I always thought that seasoning it would take to long. I cut mostly elm and the moisture just oozes out of it as soon as you cut into it. The cottonwood on the other hand doesnt. I have a moisture tester but was just wonderin how long it normally takes to dry CW down to less than 20% if stacked and covered properly. I know it is a low btu fuel but I have access to quite abit of the stuff that would be easy to drop and load.
