This cherry and ash was cut at the beginning of summer.
This is what 3 months without rain will do to firewood

Wait, is that a trick meter? Just kidding. That wood is ready to go. I have that meter too. Very simple but accurate.

That almost doesn't surprise me, especially if it's limbs and not stumps. Sometimes Mother Nature can help us hot-rod stuff. Both species are good candidates. Others can be much tougher.

What was the average temp during that time ? How much daily sun do these get? And how big are these splits?

That low moisture % does seem real low for 6 months, but definitely achievable in under 2 years time for these species, imo

Average was 90+ during the day and they set in direct sun for at least half the day. Thosewere 4-5 inch splits I busted in half
It was logs but not big ones. The cherry was 8-10 inch and the ash was around 15 I'd guess
