We ran out of wood unfortunately. After calling around found a guy to deliver some he said was seasoned for over a year. It was below 0 F when it was delivered and the pieces I tested measured 17-18 percent on the ends so I thought fine. However it isn’t burning very well and now on upon splitting a dozen or so other pieces the vast majority measures 22% ish on a fresh split. I’m guessing his year of seasoning was in rounds, not in splits. Live and learn I guess.
Questions on the 22% wood...is it worth trying to burn, and if so how? I assume I’d need to get small, hot fires and a nice bed of coals going in our wood stove insert? But is this mostly wasting the wood since it isn’t in the 15-20% range that is considered good?
Garage question: we stacked this in a rack in our attached garage....will wood season over the summer like this or does it need wind and sun to really dry out?
We still have some wood I split a few years ago down the hill but it is problematic as it is buried under snow, already had mold growing on it, and well, it is now -19 out.
