Neatly stacking logs

[muldonach]

 

To address the question though, i.e. why does split wood dry faster than unsplit wood. ...........

 

So in summary, cutting short lengths has the most effect, splitting has a secondary effect.

 

Hope this helps!

In summary if you want wood to dry out quickly you maximise the ratio of surface area to volume.

 

Since our customers generally like firewood which is small enough to fit in their fireplaces but not too fiddly to handle we are generally but not always producing logs of 10" or thereabouts.

 

If it is more than 4" thick I would suggest that it will dry out a lot quicker if split.

Quite simply kev , try them and see how they burn, ive been selling ash,oak , beech thats been air drying for 2 years and a couple of my customers say they keep them ouside so the rain can get to them and they last longer. leaves me thinking why the **** do i bother trying to get them down to 20%
