I've got about 6 cords of 3 year old split red oak. I've never burned red oak before but have burned plenty white,pin oak,and a little black liked them all.The red oak seems a little lighter than other oak types. What can I expect from it.Testing a couple splits yesterday ,on the inside after splitting them MC was averaging 14%to 17% dependent on size,I split them very large,tops are covered and they are at least 4 inches off the ground,lots of cracks and ,wood is gray and not a bad piece in the bunch.
