    Yep, it was a reference to the Nashville guy on one of his threads...

    If our wood isn't dry enough, we tell them and they can decide if they still want it. Most can't get in their head to be 1 yr ahead, much less 3...:picard::picard:

    I’ve actually done it myself, mostly for haha’s. I load by hand and usually in advance paying attention to the weather. Once had a pop up shower that wetted the top layer. Took it for a six mile jog down the highway just to dry it off :)

    Since my average wind speed is 15 mph I never thought I needed a fan.. I do know that below 0 temps can slow drying process

    T.Jeff Veal, have you ever by chance measured the MC in splits from the same tree, some that had the fan blowing on them and some that did not (that were otherwise in like conditions)? Not that you aren't busy enough, but that would be very interesting to see results from such conditions since you're already doing the fan thing.
