    Just wondering when timber (ash) cut February 13, 2018 would be ready to burn. I chopped the logs, stacked them and left them all summer (which was the driest we have had in a while). So they have been air dried.

    Opinions welcome

    I'd certainly give Feb felled wood every chance. Try a few logs in a coal and wood mix and see what happens.

    typically, a year. ash is the naturally driest timber (when green) you're likely to get your hands on, so a lot of people say it can be burned green - you should still season it for a year though.
    IIRC, ash is about 35% water while green.

    You can buy a cheap moisture meter for logs.
