The only thing better is to be 3 years ahead. This way you do not have to be concerned if your wood is ready to burn or not; it will be. There are very few shortcuts when it comes to burning wood. Poor fuel = poor results. Good fuel = good results. You won't burn second grade fuel in your car so why try to do it in a stove? Would you put poor fuel in your oil or gas furnace.
Good luck. I hope you did not take this post wrong. Zapny knows what I'm talking about.

That's all you need. Any one will do.
It helps me. Sometimes I lose track of which wood was stacked when, and in the sun it all looks the same pretty quickly. I can usually figure it out, but I like making sure and sometimes there are real surprises. Some wood you can burn within just a few months. Other woods take years. Not everyone knows how much time each kind of wood takes to dry- I sure don't.
