I cut and split about 2 cords of Red Oak in January and February this year. It is all stacked on my wood wall along the property line. It's about 30' from my house and 15' from the neighbor's. My wife was talking to one of them and she mentioned that the smell of the Oak was pretty bad. I guess that with the warmer weather, they are already opening windows. I know that the stink gets stronger in the warmer weather too. I know the sting goes away as the wood dries, but what I don't know is how long it will take for the stink to go away. Is there anything other than time that will make the stink go away? The wood is in full sun, uncovered, and stacked three rows deep on pallets. The Oak is to the left in the image. Oh the fun of suburban living...
