This has probably been discussed, but what are you guys with gasser finding ideal for moisture content.
I have some 3 year old birch,white maple, beech and am going thru it at a good pace, thinking I migh not use it and sell it later this winter.

Personally, I would keep the beech and sell the rest.

Would mix well with all this red oak I have that's very slow to season. I have a bunch that has been cut for a year and still mid 30s moisture. Been burning some beech in mid 20s but am about to run out of it. I don't have a gasser, I struggle with flapper door sticking at times.

My g-200 will burn green wood if the atmosphere allows , i.e. temps like we had last few days. If it running hard I mix some wood in that I just split , seems to last longer than the real dry stuff. Then I can save the real dry stuff for when its warmer. 20 percent seems like a good average , but 30 will work when it's under a good load and running often.

I been playing same game here mixing dry with wetter stuff . half dry and wetter seems like the perfect match . super dry stuff has bit of fast burning issue . I had a 10 degree jump burning just super dry . that was at subzero draft . :thumbup:

I got a load of ends this past June. It was a mix of large stump ends, short pieces and twisted splits. The wood was mainly oak and maple with moisture around 30's. I just took a piece of oak and tested it after I cut it in half and it was 22%. Burning nicely in the C. B. 1450. I did slit most of the wood to smaller chunks this year.
