    I'm seeing White & Red Oak, and possibly Maple. It's hard to tell from those pics. Either way, it 's just fine BTU's congrats, and enjoy the future warmth!

    Wet, but nice. It will dry but oak does take quite some time to give up its moisture.

    Always good to get wood that you wont need to burn for the next 5 years...depends on the dry conditions.
