    Been there, done that, hope to not do it again with the 7 month firewood, but ya burn what you got and I would if needed. Stay warm, that's the main thing. Nice light show and cherry does lose it's moisture pretty quick.

    Some great looking secondaries there. I have to say I have had some great luck drying cherry, maybe 8 months for 20%.
    You might be ok with what you got there.

    Pics of the stove and fire look pretty great. :yes:

    I think a lot of us are going to be posting pics of cutting, splitting and stacking this spring/ summer as we try to get ahead a little bit... :)
