Hello all,
I feel like a noob asking but I have never been in this position. I have been getting free wood from my family the last two years. The wood I am getting this year has been sitting in an unstacked heap of about 10 cords since last summer, all split. I was painting the house all summer so I am behind on getting the wood. Just this past weekend i started transferring some wood to my house and stacking it. The stuff that was on the outside of the pile seems ok and has the signature "knock", but i am wondering how long all of the inside wood needs to dry before i can burn it. It seems some is ok and some needs a little bit of time. I have about 1.5 cords of dry wood to burn hoping that will last me until the wet stuff can dry in the stack. Anyone have some words of wisdom?
