    I know the wood gets harder as it ages. Get it old enough and you can’t drive a concrete nail into it :)
    I also now agree with Brads preference the bark should be off.
    This winter I used some BL that had been split and stacked for 3 years, bark still on for ballast in the truck. Took it off a couple weeks ago. Most of the bark was ready to fall off as I was taking it off the truck. Those little yellow worms were still thriving under the bark. Now it wasn’t covered all that great. Rubber on top but it blows back a lot and I don’t bother fixing it often as I knew I wasnt burning it this year. Still a little surprised to see those critters in there.
    Bark off is a much nicer, cleaner, more compact product.

    That’s some serious barkless BTUs.
