standing dead

[cyclone]

I cut down a standing dead about 7 months ago, so it has been laying all this time. I split it and stacked it yesterday... No bark on this either and very hard.....


Can I burn this wood now?????

i would give it a couple weeks but it should be fine. what kind of trees were they and what is the weather like.

Try knocking some splits together? How does it sound.
Got a moisture meter? Use it.
Test burn some splits. Steam, hiss, bubble, etc.

If no strikes use it. If three strikes see below.

I would split and dry it for 4+ months. Find other seasoned wood elsewhere.

that's going to be hard to do, finding other truly seasoned wood this time of year.
