I grabbed some of the larger splits (approximately 5-7 diameter) from the middle of the oak stack. It was cut last August and split in September. Stacked single row, perpendicular to the prevailing winds, not covered, and exposed to full sun from approximately 9 am to sunset. Hot dry fall last year, and exceptionally hot and dry summer this year.
I'm not surprised that it seasoned fast, but I'm a little surprised that it seasoned that fast. I was expecting somewhere in the high twenties or so. Guess that means I'm just set for a brutal winter if we happen to have one. I don't think I'll need to dip into the oak unless we have a bad winter, the poplar, hard maple, cherry, dogwood and BL should get us most of the way through the winter.
