I have a bunch of wood that was cut down in April/May, and split in June. It is ash and siilver maple. Both of which i thought dried rather quickly. The moisture content is somwhere around 20-25% on a fresh split. I had a fire last night with this wood, and was running only 2 or 3 sm/med splits at a time with the stove temperature near the door 475-510 with this wood. I never really got a strong secondary, and had the air prob about 3/4 closed. My question is, if the temps are still getting high, is this wood really that bad to burn? Will it still produce more creosote than dryer wood even though the temp is rather high? Also, would this cause glaze type creosote compared to more flaky ash (not really sure how the glaze forms). Am I asking for trouble burning this wood this year, even though it doesn't seem to burn all that bad?
