I had a large poplar felled this week. It had been struck by lightning a few years ago, and had developed some rot on one side.
I do not heat with wood, but the mother in law does. I had the trunk cut into 24" lengths, 24" - 30" diameter. The rule of thumb is one year "seasoning " before use. Is there a preferred moisture content? I ask because a few pieces are noticeably drier or have rot.
