Yelp. Oak is hard to beat when it's really cold. I don't normally cut living oaks where I live. (Try to leave them for the animals) but it'snice to come across a standing dead now and then, just takes longer to season than anything else I have available.

We have 40 acres on Lookout Mountain and have been cutting oak and hickory that are starting to get hollow at the bottom. Like you we leave the healthy ones.

Feeling the Heat
late last year a large oak fell due to terrific winds, noticed it was a healthy tree but with the rain soak it got for days, it blew down taking with it the power lines and three poles, we went dark for roughly 24 hours. I can't wait to burn it. I don't usually get to burn oak.

For sure lots of us had some big temperature ranges. I remember that one morning we had -12 and it was 78 in the house. Sweet.
