I guess I have a hard time believing that most people have wood that is too dry to burn efficiently. Wood will take up moisture when it's available, to an extent. Of all the wood I've ever measured with my MM, I've only had a few pieces measure under 10%. I think those reasons were in the heat of the summer too, typically when there isn't much rain.
Methinks a perusal of the forum guidelines might be in order I get that the political comments are made in good fun, but it doesn't take long for that train to turn into a trainwreck.
+1, and I have had nothing to drink. Besides this whole subject on wood too dry sounds a bit hypothetical to me. I am curious who here on this forum has wood that is too dry.
I think he was burning 100 year old cedar fence posts. I remember the post but not the eventual outcome.
Well folks I did buy a cord of wood a few years back from a neighbor who had it sitting uncovered for 3 or 4 years.That hardwood had lost it's weight and that cord wood burned so fast it was ridiculous.He offer to sell me another cord for less.I told him no that wood burns so fast you should give it away.
In you Mansfield? Rich L friends have one, did a remodel And we burned 2 by scrap as kindling. I don’t think any wood left outside and uncovered would ever get lower than KD
Ya the Mansfield ate the wood up.I knew when I lifted the splits that they wouldn't last as long as usual and they didn't.Really he should have given me two cords for the price of one for as fast as that wood burned up.Even though the wood was outside when I picked it up the weather and wood was good and dry.I wouldn't be buying wood that light in weight again.
