The "Wood drying" subject is subjective.
I burn the driest wood I have.
I never measure the moisture because moisture meters are subject to errors, minerals in the wood & wood type & it does not matter to me. I'm going to burn it either way.
Like the guys I met when cutting this inter, they take the wood home, split & burn it, because the have to keep their family warm. Not that they
can't improve but their situation called for burning what they could get.
I've learned allot here & have made many improvements on cutting & seasoning wood.
BUT
It comes down to what you got, is what you burn.
For me, being dry, covered & findable is important. It's what I have & is as dry as I can get it by the time I need it with the conditions I have.
I'll read the arguments, but in the end, burn what I got & not let it become an issue that overwhelms me.
Would I like to have perfectly sized, perfectly seasoned, perfectly stored & stacked oak? Yes, but I don't. I got what I got.
(There are much more important things to worry about & do, fishing, hunting golf
)
