I'm getting mixed information about how far ahead in seasons to store wood. I have access to maple and ash mainly.
I currently have about 6 cords that I split in the early spring and ready to go. I burnt about 3 cords last year in my first year of burning with some very very dry (4 years?) wood.
I now have access to the logs from14 trees (ash & maple) that were cut down by my neighbor and he has kindly given me.
When would you cut the logs into rounds and split??? Perhaps the better question is how long is TOO LONG to season wood? Should I wait until next spring to being to cut and split???
Several people have said you only need to cut in the spring what you will use the following winter with the exception being oak.
Any advice as I enter my second season of burning?
Thank you
David
