I have burnt and sold wood for several years and I disagree with that. Certain species like oak, birch, and beech do not dry well until they are split but other species like ash and maple dry and season very well even before they are split. As a matter of fact in the past I have cut down trees early in the spring and let the buds or leaves draw a lot of moisture out of the trees and cut and split them in the fall and although they are not completely dry it does not take long before they are.
