I cleared a large fallen ash branch for a local farmer last summer, in exchange for keeping a few logs for my fire pit in the garden.
The logs are about beer can thickness, and were sawn to about 12 inches long. I have kept them in a large bucket underneath our patio table (i.e away from rain) for well over 10 months. The bark is still on the wood.
When i had a fire last night there was a fair amount of water coming out from the ends of the logs.
I thought they should have seasoned properly by now? Could it be the plastic bucket they are kept in? The wood feels very dry to touch.
A bit miffed to be honest!
