I throw my wood in the river (I live in a van) and 6 months later its dryer than a popcorn fart when I fish it out.

I would discard that wood immeadiately. Rain is to wood stacks as hungry wolves are to a man wearing a meat poncho (yes I stole that from a commercial).
At this point that fir would be better suited for putting out the wildfires than heating your home.
In reality, rain has very little effect on seasoning time unless you are in the amazon.
You drove all the way to NorCal to get rid of that wood? You should have just gone outside and burned it...or tried to. On second thought, you may have used as much gasoline trying to ignite that stuff as you used driving to CA.Bigg_Redd said:lukem said:I would discard that wood immeadiately.

Already done. It's floating in Oakland Bay even as I type.

I have sprinklers in my stacks and water about the same as I water my lawn. I have tried watering more than that, but the slight increase in drying doesn't make up for the cost of the extra water.
