Wood rotting

[Rustington]

Will this continue to rot or will it start to dry now it’s split?

[Mark Bolam]

It will dry under cover.

It will be fine.  Generally I think people are too precious about what firewood looks like.

As I told mum the other day, if you don't like it, just put it in the fire.

If you have tonnes and tonnes of it best bet is to ditch it... my drive, any time...

 

It's been sat where it is getting wet (on the ground?) start it drying and it will be fine. The rotten parts obviously have lost some fibres and so on so less energy dense but the solid bits are not affected

Lift the pile off the ground and place it in a windy area to ensure proper airflow. The location should be dry, of course. However, some types of wood can take up to two years to dry completely. I think this one will take around two years—so go ahead and make yourself a cup of tea!

Been building a new log store, so will hopefully have plenty of space to get things arranged nicely.

(until I get my first drop from here and I realise I need another store 🤣)
