Am burning wood that as never been covered. Went to the yard, wiped the snow off and split it. Oak and beech, ringed a year ago and left to the elements. Thought I try it out. Stove burning like a dream.

[doobin]

Can't believe the oak in particular is any cop. Can you moisture test it?

[Stubby]

I think frozen wood burns better than wood that is sopping wet . I recon when it freezes the moisture does not penetrate so much . Anyway I have found the same .

Clearly the outside mc was high, but when I split and tested cut face it read 22%. Again I split an old bit of pine from same pile, never been covered, burns like a dream.

The stuff I sell to customers is a different story lol slightest hint of damp on the logs and it sends there alarm bells ringing.

My own logs however will remain black,nasty looking discoloured and left outside uncovered forever more.No point in pointless faffing

Well I don't sell much , mostly its just for me but I am forced to tack in the open air and only store in my wood shed thing when I have split it . All seems to burn fine on my Burley any ways .
