Moved my last stack to where I had the pine for better air flow. Was just up against a fence before. 1.25 cords. The ash is dry, especially stuff that was already standing dead (15 % MC) but the oak is not ready.

Sorry! Phone and Internet issues going on here and getting fed up.

Not dreaming of anything that creates any more danged heat here, although heat I can control sounds nice.
Lol…I gotcha. And yes, I’m sick of the heat as well! We’ve had a pretty nice string of days here with morning temps in the low 60s and it’s really getting me in the mood for fall and firing up the stove.
 
the way I had a lot of my wood stacked bothered me. Kept collecting water on the tarps, wood kept sliding off from poor stacking, very uneven, so I decided to restock some and consolidate. I’ll eventually do the other stacks but 3 big stacks is enough for now. Been at it for a while. Got rid of 4 tarps and 2 and a half pallets from consolidating. Before and after.

For the heck of it checked some MC of various pieces.

Edit. Got a second wind and restacked one more big one ~about 1.5 cords. Consolidated by adding a 1/2+ cord of hickory to this that I had stacked with pine. That’s ready to burn too.

2 year hickory - 16%
2 year ash - 15%
2 year oak - 18%
1 year oak - 25%
1 year mulberry - 19%

All taken on fresh split surfaces. Lots of wood available for the winter.

Total inventory about 11 cords not including the pine.
dayyyuummnn, nice stacks!!
