Nice.... love when the tree guy drops off a load like that... I've been working the last two days on a pair of loads that were dropped off... Love the smell of fresh split oak too... on the subject of dry time.... single stack, small split you should be fine for then...
Forgot to update this thread. I ended up with 2 and 1/3rd cords of oak from the December surprise delivery. I moved some of it to a better location in the yard and it's already much lighter than when I originally stacked it back in late Dec/ early Jan.
Nothing better than free oak delivered to your door, unless of course, it was all cut to length. Enjoy that wsrmth in about 3 years.
Annnnd Horkn seems to have guessed it quite accurately! Having spent a fair amount of time looking at logs and doin his math.nice stacks bud I think i'll have to try for the smaller splits here too. Helps to get it easier to handle too.
Thanks. It only took me 8 years to figure out a good way to stack lol. I had the 4x4x8s laying around from a fence at the farm I took down last year and of course there's always T post laying around. I actually have to go buy more T post for the farm since I used up all my extras stacking lol. The smaller splits take a little more work but I agree that they're easier to handle and I'm hoping this helps speed up the drying time.
I'll be burning mine in 2020 winter just for good measure. But small splits would just be good to carry your heat a bit further I would think with a mix of wood rather than oak alone. Expand your variety of burns especially when it really gets needed.
