How long for dried wood to regain moisture?

[R5log]

That's pretty much my argument, although kiln-dried does have its benefits. There's, thankfully, no official definition of either and for personal use I work off; under 30 burnable, under 25 good, under 20 perfect rather than how it's produced.

 

 

 

The only reason kiln-dried is so popular is because it gives a degree of guarantee. Seasoned can be anything so people buy wet wood and assume that's how it all is whereas kiln-dried is nearly always good because it tends to be sold by larger suppliers and people complain when it's not bone dry. Also in some places people can't air dry to less than 20% so kiln-dried has an advantage there for more sensitive fires.

 

 

 

We kiln dry but only because we sell so much now it's easier to cut and dry through the winter than do it all in the summer and need vast amounts of storage. We don't mention it much in advertising, just that we sell dry wood all year round.

 

 

Kiln dried is so popular because of the RHI!!
