Scored about 1.5 cord of hickory. How long to properly season? Should I put is at the end of the line ('14-'15)?
Does hickory rot?

ChocoLab said:Had some hickory from Alfred. Put it in with the oak I got, won't see the stove for another 2 years. Hoping it burns as advertised!
I was bucking some Pignut earlier today, and suddenly had the urge to grill some meat! :lol:basswidow said:I can't wait to burn my shagbark next year. Smelled like bacon or ham the whole time I was splitting it! Made me hungry.
Almost always see the post powder beetles in Hickory here after you split and stack it.seeyal8r said:I cut up some hickory last winter. Some kind of boring beetle larvae made holes all in it to the point it looked like swiss cheese. It cured easily in a year and was covered in saw dust from the beetle. I brought some in early in the fall and the beetles came out of the wood. Probably the last time I cut hickory since it burned so easily with all the holes. Of course we had an abnormally warm summer and that may have caused the infestation.
