Brought home some prime stuff

Load of red oak from my awesome in laws. I split it up and left it in a pile earlier this year and am amazed at just how dry it already is. Didn't stack it up there because I kept putting off loading down my little ranger. Will get stacked later this week. They sure have been good to me.

Nice in-laws. Keep in mind that oak can appear dry on the outside while still being quite wet inside. I really doubt that the pieces that are not on top will be ready for this year.

I have some white oak that has been c/s/s for two years. It felt dry to the touch and much lighter. I split a couple of pieces and put the meter to it.....21%. Gotta wait another year. fv

Just curious, how are you storing the firewood?

Good stuff !!
Ours is c/s/s as of spring 2016 and the smaller ones will go this season.
Those reds are worth the wait. You have a great family !!

The oak is stacked out in the sun and wind and split smaller than what I usually split. I put it in the direct sun because I knew how long it takes for oak to season which is 3 years minimum.

I split mine smaller also because our fireplace is a prefab that came in our place were renting. Its amazing how much heat it throws off though. When we're home and it's cold the fireplace does great. 2 bedroom upstairs and everything else downstairs and it'll run you out when a bed of coals develops. The fireplace burns better with smaller splits.

Might be ready for you by winter. Seems really close.

Oak and maple turn all nice and gray on the outside, bark falls off...its all lies! Not dry yet!
