As of Sunday, we have consumed 1/2 cord of wood (start date for burning was Oct. 1st). It was (the 1/2 cord) in the garage all summer.
Sunday's armloads were from one of the two outdoor stacks. My wife commented that the wood seems to fire up more intensely. I concur.
What IS it about the wood outside (the garage is not insulated) that has been sitting cross-stacked on pallets, that it might burn more "intensely" or whatever?
Of course, it's all under tarps now, but was exposed (except for the top layer; I had the tarps folded up and only laying on the top of the stacks, since about mid-November), for most of the summer, and was pre-seasoned when I stacked it. What was in the garage, is the same as the type of wood stacked outside.
Maybe it's my imagination.........
