    Turns out I had my dates confused and the 3 year old oak I'm burning this year isn't really 3 years old. I was looking thru some pictures on my phone and realized it is in fact 4 years old.

    :whistle:

    I'm not really sure how old next year's wood will be. That's a problem.

    Speaking of petrified......:cool:
    Part of a 10 foot long White Oak limb I found while out for a walk in the woods a couple weeks back.It had to be on the ground 15 years easily,cant believe I missed it when working nearby in June.Threw it up on my shoulder (probably 80-100 lbs) & walked up the hill 150 feet over to the processing area.Quite dense,close to Hickory,though Hickory will barely last 2-3 yrs on the ground before its compost.
    Slow burning,very hot with small bluish yellow flames & no sparks.Some of it was burned last night.

    Well do you like the 4 year oak better than you liked the 3 year oak ?

    It'll get better with age
    "I just bought the new PU truck a couple years ago"
    Now it's due new tires.
    It's a 06.

    I use pics & threads on the site for my firewood history log.

    Four year oak is ideal - I have about 2.5 cord that was stacked in 2010 that is in the barn for this winter's cold weather- damm it burns well! Enjoy! Cheers!
