First off never have I looked forward to the winter and onset of cool temps........
I know we should age our wood for 1.5 years with moderate wind low humidity and bright sunshine of 85 degrees.
BUT....
I have 2 cords of spring/summer cut wood that I have mentally pegged off limits for this season
and 2 cords of 1.5 year old wood I bought off a convert to coal.
By accident/ on purpose 1 or two of the "green" wood got in there and burned up very well no
snap crackle pop no wet sounding drizzle with lots of smoke in the stove.
I had that last year when i got some wet wood from my brother and it was loud smoky and not real easy to fire up the stove
Thus is the proof in the pudding so to speak?
That is if it burns hot clean can I assume it aged well enough to use this winter? :wow:
Thanks in advance
Tom
