Got some white mold.

[StevenearBoone]

Discovered some white mold after removing the tarp,it had been stored like this since early spring.
It’s mostly oak.
Can I still burn it or should I let it season for a while more?
I don’t have a moisture meter.
Thanks!
Steve.

I doubt it's near ready. It should have been split. Rounds hold moisture much longer to dry out in the center. I strongly reccommend getting a decent, but inexpensive moisture meter to take the guesswork out.

Thank you! Should it be ok to burn after I split it and let it dry some more?

It depends if it’s dry.

Mold doesn’t grow where water isn’t present. You may need a bit of time for it to dry further.
