Ash will dry to 20% easily with a good summer if you can get it cut early enough.

Why dream? According to my valiant moisture meter the robinia I cut and split last month is 13% on the faces and 24% in the middle when split.

So just under 20% in the middle Wet Basis then - Ready to burn !

I won't rush in on the basis of a couple of measurements, that robinia was either an anomaly or I didn't push the pins in far enough, it has oven dried to give an initial 31% wet basis.

 

The other piece of beech, also from this year's felling and reading 24% on the fresh face,  I microwave oven dried and it was 19.83% wwb.

 

So I am still a bit undecided on  what basis the valiant indicates moisture content.

I suggest you contact Bob Sizeland of Valiant for a definitive answer , his Email address is "[email protected], as I did . Cheers

If you can get hold Birch it dries quite quickly - split now down to about 10cm and kept dry/well ventilated it will be good to go next autumn/winter.
