My "Pro & Cons" score yielded some wood that was determined to be Chinese chestnut. I split all the rounds today and it is rather heavy and dense. Reminds me of oak. Gonna put it with my oak stack and dry it as such. Anyone have experience drying and burning it? Take multiple years to dry? Made some nice splits. Far left of the pile.
Not on the thread title. Can only edit the contents. Not the first time ive done that. Any input on CC Dave?
Hmm...pretty sure I've edited title before, could be wrong I guess. Not really...don't know that I've had much, if I did it just went in the stacks with everything else...
In my experiences CC dries relatively fast (year or so), burns decent and has a nice scent. Good shoulder season or mix wood.
I have burned some and have about 1/2 cord left. Also the remainder of the dead tree to fell. It burns ok. I mix it in with other wood. Not sure on drying time, stuff Im burning has been sitting for over 2.5 years.
