No way would I manage to dry out any freshly split wood outside or in the greenhouse in a couple of months.

Hmmm, that might be pushing it on green wood. How did you determine that it's not dry yet?tumm21 said:You guys misunderstood. I split and stacked this hickory in early March. Im pretty sure it was green when I had it delivered. unfortunately its all I have for firewood this year and I want the most out of it.
Well that is probably not enough seasoning time. But September and October can be really good months. Usually are around here. You can hope. I would cover it anytime it is going to rain, if you can. If that is all you have then you will have to use it. Try to get some really dry stuff like pallet material to mix with it. What kind of stove are you burning? Do you have a moisture meter?tumm21 said:You guys misunderstood. I split and stacked this hickory in early March.
