There are twevle rows eight feet long, fourteen inches wide and about eight feet tall. I'd say right around seven full cords. Most of the wood was split in March and cross stacked on a pallet in April. A large amount of the wood is hickory and oak which is still very wet and heavy. But the other woods cherry, ash, maple, walnut and mix of everything else soft and hard seem dry and ready to burn.
 
Nice to have the wood inside but I would have left it outside a few more months. That oak will be sopping wet as it is.

In about a month MI will be hitting its rainy season and in my metal pole barn a few hot august days it will hit over a 110 degrees= faster drying for me. I'll open the barn door on a gusty day and it can be like a blast furnace.

On the contrary 70marlin, wind will dry that wood much faster than the heat inside the barn. However, you are still to be congratulated as that represents a lot of work. Good luck and we hope it does still burn decent.

Thats what I was trying to say, with the barn doors open plus the high heat= maybe a little faster dry time. Thanks on the amount of work.
