I have a chance to buy a half cord of cherry wood for $100. Guy will bring to me and stack in my garage. Is this a decent or good deal. How long can I leave it sitting?

If it is green wood it probably won't dry properly in a closed garage. Properly dried cherry will be good for a few years if it isn't sitting directly on damp earth.

How long will it take to dry?

Covered with natural air flow and as logs, perhaps one or even two years. Split, six months to a year. Cut into rounds a couple of inches thick, three to six months. Well ventilated fist sized chunks, a month or two. This is in Vermont. Might be faster in warmer Kentucky.

How long will it take to dry out or can I use it green ?

Hummm. I just told you in great detail how long.
I wouldn't use it green, although some people do. You want smoke from cleanly burning wood.
In the south I would never stack wood in or near my house. Termites hate me for that.

Ahhh, good point. I forgot about termites. We don't have them here.

It is a great deal. Is it already seasoned?
