Hey, all. I am moving some white oak firewood to a more optimal spot to dry it, and some of the wood I'm moving is pretty old and, in some places, rotten. On some sticks, the rot is only on part of it, so I've been hacking that off with a hatchet and moving the good wood remnant. If there are a few minor traces of the punky parts on there, will this affect the burn in any significant way?
And, I have the back row stacked about as high as I want to go and am going to start on the front soon. How far in front of the first row do you recommend stacking the next row? I don't want to cut down on air circulation.
Those questions being asked, I am happy to have started on my first real woodpile. There's some good wood in with the mixed, and that pleases me. And as I work, I'm guesstimating the equivalent of fuel oil the stack represents, and that's kind of fun.
