Hey all. I posted pictures of my 1/4 cord of wood the other day to verify that it was Red Oak (I am not knowledgeable so I had to place a bit of trust in the guy delivering it). I had very helpful replies and most of them said they needed closer pictures of the wood. I noticed when taking these photos that the bark seems different on some pieces than others. Can you take a look at my updated photos and verify for me that it is Red Oak? Thank you for all the help! If it’s of any assistance, I live on the central coast of California. I learned that Red Oak from different places may look different. I briefly also wanted to ask how long the wood may take to dry out enough to burn for my bbq. It was supposed to be seasoned and though it’s grey and not extremely heavy, it took ages to finally light a few pieces (only after they were put over very hot coals but even then difficult to keep lit), a lot of smoke, and that hissing sound. My very cheap moisture meter said they were all around 20% but I did not split the already split pieces to test the inside. Thanks again for reading through this!
