Seasoned Logs

The wood is cut to size then, barn stored with plenty of air circulation to help the logs dry evenly throughout.

Oak is very dense and requires roughly 2 years to season as it holds a high moisture content. Where as, Ash could dry as quickly as anything between 6 to 18 months.

Although, this is an easy process it also requires lots of space and the results are not as effective. The moisture content only reaches between 20–25%. A high moisture content reduces efficient combustion and heat output. Seasoned logs are more likely to smoke and spit.
