    Yep, it was a reference to the Nashville guy on one of his threads...

    If our wood isn't dry enough, we tell them and they can decide if they still want it. Most can't get in their head to be 1 yr ahead, much less 3...:picard::picard:

    I’ve actually done it myself, mostly for haha’s. I load by hand and usually in advance paying attention to the weather. Once had a pop up shower that wetted the top layer. Took it for a six mile jog down the highway just to dry it off :)

    Since my average wind speed is 15 mph I never thought I needed a fan.. I do know that below 0 temps can slow drying process
