Made a recent post about the oak I bought earlier this year moisture at 27%.. just wasn't burning to my liking...bad thing is I moved all this oak to my shed a few weeks ago..all 4 and a half cords...well I will be moving this wood back to the yard on pallets until next year...went out tonight and got some wood I had cut in the last month...it had been down for a year and some 2 years...it Burns really good and no smoke coming from chimney...sycamore. .locust..buckeye..elm..ash..more work for me..but oh well little work never killed anyone..
