Oak can be a little slow to get going any way and if a little high with the moisture yu have 2 strikes going against and packing it tight might be the 3rd strike.Huntindog1 said:Just got back into wood burning after a 6 year layoff. Had some wood I cut but burnt it already in an older stove of mine before buying the new stove.
With this new wood stove, I've been burning bought wood that is one year seasoned. With testing it as is when I bought it , tested around 22%. Plus alot of it is white and red oak.
I suspect your exactly right that once I split it again and then test the moisture it will have a higher moisture content.
