I have some soft maple stacked that reads between 8-13%. Can it be too dry and produce too much flame making it hard to control the fire? I try to mix the real dry stuff with wood around 18-20% dryness.

I'll mail it USPS as soon as I find a box big enough.karri0n said:Danno77 said:I don't know if it can be too dry, but I think MY woodstack has all gone bad, what should I do with all this gray wood, the ends are even starting to split, that can't be right. should I just throw the stuff out?
Yeah, that stuff's no good. Ship it to me, and I'll dispose of it properly.
Ha ha! My firewood is ok, it gets moisturized every time it rains or snows. If it's still a little too dry after five years, I just throw a bucket of wet newspapers in the stove with it to help compensate.Backwoods Savage said:Boy, it sounds like I am in trouble. I hope quads doesn't see this or he is also in deep crap.

Too much surface area to burn all at once.
