Best time to cut firewood

[funkymonkey1111]

Cottonwood is about all I burn because i get it for free. I was just trying to point out some of the disadvantages. Even free has its price.

how long does the cottonwood take to season? I've had some over a year old that I thought was still moist. do you have a gas splitter? I've thought about one of those little electric ones (i'm just burning for ambiance at home and don't have the space for one of those giant gas splitters--but I do like to have frequent fires)

rent a splitter, once toy have the OAL less than 30" make a day of it. $80 later your well stacked, splitter returned and no need for storage.
