Are your refering to my post, low end of oak which puts it in the TOP end of the wood scale.WoodPorn said:No offence... but if you've read anything with the word Oak in any part of this forum you'll see that Oak is one of the best woods to burn. Proper seasoning time is it's downfall. You may get away with burning it this year depending on how long it's been split but I'd say wait a year if you can

Nate Finch said:The two year seasoning time is going to suck until I get ahead. I have about 4 cords of unsplit red oak left from the previous owners. My property is 12 acres of mostly oak (mix of red and white). Once I get ahead, I'll be golden, but I think I'll have to buy wood this year and try to get a couple years' worth split this fall and in the spring.

Dune said:On twelve acres it wouldn't surprise me if you could find enough standing dead wood to get started. The trunks may still be moist, especialy near the ground, but the tops are probably very dry, plus you don't need to split the smaller stuff.
Best thing about red oak is how easy it is to split.
