Wouldn't it still be kinda wet depending on when it was cut?


Just to expand on supercub's question. The timber species I cut for firewood to burn in the fireplace, and free standing wood stoves is stacked and dried for a minimum of 12 months. What species of wood are you burning?

We burn maple and/or birch here. I usually buy the wood cut and split in the sping and rank it outside till the later fall. My basement is unfinished, so I currently have 7 cords in and room for more. A lot of folks buy their wood a year in advance and burn that way. Too dry is not good either as it burns too fast w/o the same heat.
