Moisture meter observations for PNW softwood burners.

[RedRanger]

Just completed moisture meter readings from a cord of fir and a cord of big leaf maple that are stacked in single rows on the sunny and breezy part of my acreage. After 6 months in the sun, my observations after resplitting and testing the interior are as follows:

Douglas fir: 7" round= 22% large split= 20% 2 small splits= 15%
Big leaf maple: 7" round= 36% large split= 30% and the 2 small splits=22%

Just curious if some of you-aka BG,Highbeam, and Fossil are getting similiar results?

Anyway, I`m not gonna wait till my sheds (holding 8 cords) are emptying till I move that stuff in. I`m gonna burn the fir right from the stacked row come Oct.

In the ballpark. With humidity in the 20%'s and some record high temps and nearly no rain, I'm not having any trouble seasoning firewood. ~12 cords or so on site...Lodgepole, Ponderosa, Larch, Juniper, Misc. It's all ready to burn now. Well, some still needs splitting and stacking, but I'm good for this year and into next. Rick
