    Had my first burn this past damp, cold, and windy Friday evening. Boy did it feel good taking the chill out of the house...........Back to milder.

    I had a bunch of uglies that did the job just perfect!

    I was unimpressed when I burned KCT. Probably annoyed a few customers with it too. 2 year dry time didn’t seem to be enough in my area.

    Yeah. It takes a long time in my area too. This was split fall 2019. Dry now. Last year was around 20% mc. I couldnt believe it took that long.
