That's what I thought.

But, the majority opinion here is that dry wood is harder to split than
wet wood.


I'll make it easy for the number-crunching part of your brain.

Split half of it now and half when it has dried. Then you'll know
which you prefer, you'll have accrued half of the benefit whichever
way proves easier, and we'll be saved from the insufferable poll
taking.
