I'm still working on truelly getting ahead & looking for some input on my burn plan for the year. I have:
~3/4 cord of very dry shoulder season wood and chunks. Burning now 'till real cold hits & leftovers in spring
~2/3 cord of Red Oak S/S for nearly 2 years now. My mid-winter wood.
~1 1/4 cord of Red Oak cut, split big & heaped in a field in small piles last fall, split smallish & re-stacked in the yard in early spring (fairly sunny spot). I was planning to burn this in late winter knowing it won't be ideal.
~1/2 cord Red Oak S/S in early spring. 2011-12 wood.
~2 cord of Elm & Mulberry C/S/S in a 4 pallete Holtz Hausen in late August. Planned 11-12 wood.
My question is, is it likely the greener Elm & Mulberry would burn better than the 1 year old Oak come this Jan/Feb? Even with it being in a HH instead of single-stack? I wasn't planning it that way, but all the grumbling about R.Oak & my experiences with it last year have me re-thinking.
Edit. For clarity
