My furnace is outdoors, so I don’t have creosote concerns.

Now, it’s not the best to use green wood. But the new standard of moisture that I’ve read about says you cut it, let it sit a year, and then the 2nd year it’s at that moisture content. I ain’t got no time for that.

If I cut in the spring, I want to use it starting that fall.

Forgot to mention that...

Unless it's been an unusally long winter(like this one), we have wood from the previous season that allows this years cut to season.

The reason we cut in the late summer/ early fall is planting/ harvesting takes precedent and we begin cutting after the crops are in... And it's too d@@#ed hot to cut wood in the middle of July/ lol

Outside furnace?

Aren't you losing alot of radiant heat to the elements?
