I'm down to my last couple inside rows of oak firewood that were stacked 4 rows deep next to my garage. I split some 5" rounds in half and got 25% moisture. They are burning just fine. The two outside rows were all testing 17-22%.
Todd-is your firewood still exposed to a lot of wind?
My last row stacked tightly (12-18) months old is mouldy and mildew, but only measures 18-28% moisture,but gives off diddly squat for heat. This is inside of a wood =shed.. Actually some of that wood is hit and miss., some do give off heat , but some doesn`t. A newbie on this forum said that his back rows touching the back of the shed was the same way as mine.
Thinking maybe that I am going to either drill holes in that back part of the sheds or knock out some boards.
Eighteen months that softwood should be dry, don`t ya think? Doesn`t softwood dry quicker than hardwoods?
ya, ya I know that you dry your stuff with those prevailing winds from the nukeplant. :cheese:
