Oak takes the longest to dry, but lasts the longest ! All You said is true ! Thanx for sharing !

People always have their opinions on staying or just piling it up. I usually stack it cause the lack of room where I store it plus it looks a little nicer and I’m not moving a lot of wood. But also seen a video where they tried both stacking and piles. And the pile after almost a whole year some of the wood tower adds the center and bottom was more wet than that on top. I wouldn’t say which is best or right different techniques work better from some more than others.

Good points! Yeah, if you’re piling you need to factor in how you’re going to get rid of trapped precipitation. Piles that aren’t in all day wind and sun don’t do well. Not sure if the video you watched factored that in. (Also, keeping it off the ground helps. But giant operations don’t do that). If that was factored in and it still retained all that moisture then I’m wrong 😄👍 I guess no method is full proof, or fool proof for that matter. 😄 Thanks for taking the time to give your input. And I’m actually thinking about stacking some of my wood next season 🤔 but a different method than before. Single row stacking! 👌 I’m actually looking forward to seeing how fast some oak dries this way. 🤔

@ yea for sure I think the video I saw the guy also had the pile covered so that probably had some to do with the moisture being trapped in. Yours being in full sunlight all the time makes more sense. And thanks for the tips from your video as well I’m always open to others advice on how to dry my wood faster. Oak is just one of those that gives everyone a hard time. Here in Texas I have lots of post oak on my property so that’s the majority of what I cut split and stack. Even with all the tips I’ve learned it still takes several months of not a full year to dry. Keep doing what you’re doin man looking forward to more of your videos. You got yourself another subscriber.

I try to cut trees down in winter and start harvesting it in the spring. It's not always fun to work in the bush in the winter but if it's worth it

[@EdgeOfTheNorth]

For me it’s funner in the Winter than in the Summer 👍

[@ChampionFirewoodManitoba]

@@EdgeOfTheNorth yeah, I guess that depends on the area and how brutal the winter is. We get waist deep snow and -30 degrees Celsius or lower.

[@EdgeOfTheNorth]

@@ChampionFirewoodManitobaI’m in northern Wisconsin, so not much different. 👍👍

How much do you typically sell in a year? I'm originally from the Dayton, Ohio area but currently 50 miles west of Indianapolis. I'm currently thinking of getting into the firewood business. I'm learning everything I can. Thanks for the videos.

Yessir🫡 glad I can help. Currently process only about 70 cords. I watch my youngest kid most the day, so not able to get many hours in yet. But that’ll change soon.👍👍
