    That's just way to dry, you better burn that outside and cut some fresh stuff to burn this winter. You're going to burn down the house with that stuff Chief.

    To quote Clint Eastwood, "There's nothing like a good piece of hickory"

    Wow, Chief......talk about premium stuff!
    Oak and hickory reading 15% MC? Don't get much better than that! Gonna be a great heating season for you!

    Been bringing in dunno-how-old splits mixed-up in a rack. This wood was behind (north of) another rack of really prime wood, black birch & oak.
    The stuff in the shade is a mix of silver maple, white ash, red oak, etc. Ants were busy in there- no longer.
    Anyhow, first check with MM showed 14-16%. After a few days indoors near the stove, single-digits. Need I say, it burns great! Loving it.

    Well, right now, yes, that is all I have........tough huh? Some years not so lucky when you are a scrounger. But I have quite a few sources right now, so I should be able to keep cutting the primo stuff.
