Just wondering if anyone has a process for drying wood for a stickburner other than letting it air dry. Something that is faster and ends up with a lower moisture content.
Does anyone dry wood other than air dry?

somebody shut me the fark up.
Every time you are cooking keep some pieces on the FB. For the most part nature just needs to do it's thing though.

I'm really lucky that I have a supplier (southernfuelwood.com) where I get kiln dried hickory by the pallet. I think they also have pecan. Great stuff, ultra clean burns!

I do keep sticks on top of the firebox. Learned that here and it makes a bigger difference than I would have thought. They ignite much quicker that way.
I am more asking about a quicker way of going from something short of seasoned to completely seasoned to down around 8% moisture content.
I would think the kiln dried that Dave is using must be the ultimate...

I use them as well. Where I grew up there was a couple businesses in the area that had kilns, call around to sawmills, furniture factory, or anybody using lots of wood you might be able to sneak a pallet in a couple times a year.

For what it might be worth in talking to the guys I buy wood from, their largest clients are wood fired pizza oven restaurants. I'm sure you have a few of then around you, ask them where they get their wood. Bet you have a kiln dried supplier nearby.

Good thought! I know just who to ask...
