I am pretty sure I know the answer but, would splitting in the month of June be too late for burning this upcoming winter? Lets assume it is not oak.

davmor said:I am always told that my wood will get "punky". I have found that if wood is stored off the ground well ventilated and only covered on the top it will last many years. I know there are many here who do the same thing. I give up trying to educate some people. "You just can't fix stupid" with some people.
Dennis, that is a very good point. You just can't convince some people though.Backwoods Savage said:davmor said:I am always told that my wood will get "punky".

Dave, I know what you are talking about. And on the punky wood, there is no need to have punky wood unless you cut it punky to begin with or let it sit where it is wet most all of the time. Up until this year we've been burning wood that was 6-8 years in the stack and I do not recall one piece that was punky. It burned great and in fact burned better than the 1-2 year old stuff we burned this year.

I graduated from that 3 years ago. That was one nice winter.
