.......... for this year.
Spring has finally arrived here and i am into shoulder season - this means a fire at night and maybe 24/7 over the weekend.
This is my first season burning 24/7 with mixed results. all of which can be attributed to the dryness of the wood. I have just tested the next stack and the readings are all over the place - they start ~ 24% and go up to 35%. This is a over a year seasoned in not ideal conditions. it looks like i am going to have to re-stack all the wood i have left, with a decent gap between, as it isn't get the full affect of wind / sun. I have too many stacks together (~22 rows.) Not sure how much there is left but i have burnt less than 20% of the total this season so there is at least 4 years worth of wood to re-stack.![shock !!! !!!](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/shock.gif)
At least i have a bit of room where i have removed this years from to help me get started.
