Good morning. I recently purchased a new farm and it has a house with a wood burning fireplace. Fate would have it that a huge red oak was blown down during a storm back in late November. So I purchased a new Stihl 362 CM and have been cutting it up for firewood. So this is all new to me and I have some questions below:
Up to what size can I burn without splitting them?
How long can the tree lay in the woods before I cut it all up? I’m halfway done now.
I have a tractor shed that’s 80ft long and 20ft deep. Is this a good place to store the wood to keep it dry or do I need to be concerned with termites etc being lured to the woodpile maybe later effecting my shed.
Lastly, when do I split the larger logs? Can I wait or does it need to be done when green?
Thank you,
