Starting to look for firewood dealers for the coming winter....
I know, I know I'm rushing things, and it's still summer
BUt I like to get ahead of myself a little......
Anyway, called a firewood supplier in the Lakes region, who has firewood, and asked if he had 'seasoned' firewood, and response was 'No'.
However, he said he has a lot of firewood which was cut green back in early April, and said it would be fully seasoned, and ready to burn by Nov.
Now if I do the math, that's about 7 months drying time.... I honestly don't consider 7 months of drying time, 'seasoned firewood' !
BTW, the wood he has is mainly: Birch, Maple, Beech (no oak wood)
In the past I've burned mostly 'oak', and wouldn't burn anything less than 1 yr seasoned, but maybe oak takes longer to dry out, not sure?
What are thoughts of Forum members about this?
As always, thanks for your feedback, much appreciated !
