Hi folks, 

ive got some Aspen and Ash limbs 2-6 inches wide 4-6 ft long, been stored of the ground for 2years. Bark has come off Aspen but not ash. 

 

Can anybody tell me if these will have dried at all?

 

in the past ive found stuff needs to season at its burn size but ive never had enough to do two years stacked.

 

Your help is greatly appreciated

I'd have thought that will be dry.  split wood always dries faster, but that small diameter will dry okish with most woods. woods like birch, prunus, things with shiny bark, the bark is waterproof and the rot instead pf drying, but ash will be ok.  not sure on aspenaspen is poor firewood anyway, it will be light if its dry.

Yes i have a moisture but as usual cant find it where.

 

the wood does have hollow sound when you knock em together so should be okay. 

 

I also have some lengths of hawthorn and although its not been out there as long it split along it length.

 

got a balfour firewood saw and its the muts, cant believe how it changes the process
