Hey guys
I am simply posting this with hopes that nobody made the same mistake as me. And if they did, they can fix it ASAP.
3 years ago I c/s/s some maple. It was my first wood cut myself. I stacked it along a tree line in the corner of my back yard.
Today I went to see the wood as I will be burning 2 cords of it: damp, wet and some punky! The wood never really dried that well. Because of the corner location, the wood only gets sun for about 7 hours a day. So if it rained after that, it sat in the shade until the following day.
So now I am trying to pray that putting it in the open area behind my house will get the moisture content down 5-10% before the winter arrives!! So it looks like I will be short on wood.
My advice: when everyone says to stack your wood in an OPEN area, do so. NOT besides the tree line in a corner! Agh. Bio brick time!!
