But the new standard of moisture that Ive read about says you cut it, let it sit a year
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?

My outdoor furnace heats a blanket of water around the fire chamber, pumps the water underground to a heat exchange in my backup furnace vent system and then blows it throughout the house. One of the outside lines goes to my water heater and heats the water, and another to a separate building we have and heats it. It’s pulling quite a load really. Like any woodburning system, it loses heat up the smokestack, but it’s a long burn chamber so a huge amount of the heat directly heats the water.
