They both run stick burners, and haven't bought wood in years. They dry it themselves, and have to put it back for a while to season. They are both too cheap, "frugal" as they say, to buy wood. There are oaks and pecan trees all over Thibodaux. You might have to cut it up, and split it, but then you wouldn't have to wonder if it was seasoned to your liking.

I'm not from Thibodaux, just have had the good fortune to have traveled the state extensively, and have been to Thibodaux many times.

When the tree was cut makes a big difference imo, if in the fall when the leaves have came off the sap is down pretty good it wont take any where near as long to get dry enuf to use if split at covered out of the rain, don't ever expect it to dry out good if not covered, you will get mildew and mold on it ,

Also, wood should be left uncovered and exposed to the elements while it is seasoning. Sun and wind are critical for the drying process. Covering green wood holds in moisture and delays the seasoning process. Getting rained on does not add moisture back into the wood as long as it is stacked neatly up off the ground, which allows the rain water to drain off. Of course, once it has seasoned fully, you'll want to move it into a covered location so that it's ready for use at a moment's notice. |
