This questions is for anyone that can help with excellerating drying time with some oak splits.
My situation is this: I have this years wood dried and ready to go, my issue is that I have hardly any
serious hardwood in the mix, as I normally do. Generally I have at least 50% oak or ash, this year I have less than
25% .
The green oak that has just been split for the following years mix is 80% oak. A portion of this oak I split to smaller
than normal splits in hopes that I can get them dry enough to use this year. I only need about 1.5 cord.
I have heard some folks cover their wood with black plastic from top to bottom, leaving the floor space open as a ventilation
port. In the sunlight the heated plastic would force any moisture onto the inside of the plastic and it would roll off onto
the ground.
I'm feeling kinda skeptical, theres no wind moving through the stack.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
