Big difference between this December and last December. I already have had 5 days in the teens. Last year there were four total for the month. If The forecast is correct going to have five more starting today.
My personal stack is Black locust. Don't have to worry. It could rain for a year straight and it wouldn't sizzle If you threw it straight in the fire.
I do cherry pick for my customers which is a pain in the ass. I was doing it today. Did the best I could but if you wait until late December to get your firewood you shouldn't expect perfection. Actually have a lot of people coming tomorrow Hope they bring their shovels.
