    Welcome. I like how some of your sticks have serial numbers on them. Makes inventory easy I bet :)

    :whistle:
    The numbers are moisture readings at the ends on the day I stacked it. I can see the difference during the seasoning period then when I burn I’ll split and take a reading on the pieces with the numbers. That must sound a little crazy even with you guys.:loco: :crazy::whistle:

    Thats the way.

    A moisture reading from the end is .........well.........kinda mis-information.

    Nice stacks.

    There's quite a bit scientific measurement and documentation around here.

    Looks like red oak to me. Usually fairly heavy too.

    Documenting drying time can sometimes save years of cause and effect observation.
