Another factor that makes it impossible to give a simple answer-
species.
For example: white ash can be cut, split, and burned same-day; northern
red oak is ~45%
moisture (overall) on the stump and may take more than a year; gray and
white
birch will rot before ever being ready to burn if not split. Some
conifers take
forever to season & dry. And ... growth habitat makes for substantial
variation
within species. IOW, try what you can, then assess success/failure.

Oh, yes, 2-3" sticks are not ever "logs" around here.

Not exactly home repair, but I bet many of you can answer this one. I have a
couple cords of green wood, mostly 2" and 3" diameter logs. I have it
sitting outside in the sun in a single layer on a concrete pad. How long
would it take for it to be dry enough to burn? I expect to be able to leave
it outside in the sun for up to a month before the rain sets in, after which
I'll put it under a carport that is open at both ends.
