This person's woodyard nirvana...kinda....sorta

While a lot of us are happy to have 3 year dried oak, you have us beat by a lot. Overachiever!
I think the oldest I’ve burned was 4 years dry. This year I’m burning 2 year old oak but it was dead and in the mid 20s M/C when cut.

 

There's a few other racks somewhere, dated 2019.

 

Hopefully those splits give you nice loooong burn times. Vintage firewood ftw .

 

What is typical MC for fresh cut green oak?

 

IIRC 40 something… but I could be way wrong. I remember checking a fresh split years ago but don’t remember exactly

 

That should burn really well and throw off some heat

 

I emptied another rack today. I was moving wood to the house ahead a bit of snow coming tonight.

3 empties in close proximity. What's still being covered are sheets of RO bark and some lower quality wood. Destined for a campfire.


Unless I've not tracked it correctly, I believe I have emptied 7 8ft racks this heating season

So I started on the next rack of mostly red oak.


I did find a couple pieces of black locust, that had become separated from the herd.

I'm glad I found the 11/18 stack. I thought I might need to open up one of the newer stacks from 12/19.

Not much onsite inventory. It's time to contact a tree service to drop some dead ash trees. The empty racks need to be refilled.

 

Not sure if empty racks are good or bad. I need maybe 6-7 to empty yet this month. Of the three Winter months, February is my slowest.

Get them in their early while the ground is frozen. Less collateral damage.

How much snow is forecast for you? An inch for us.

 

1-3 inches forecasted.

2 of the empties are between 2 trees. I'd like to not do that again. I'll reserve the tree racks for overflow.

 

I'm glad you not having to burn that "new" wood...it probably needs to season a few more years...
