Split firewood is shorter and typically has numerous splits. While

reach the ends of the wood than 18-24 inch firewood.

Well - if wood primarilly sheds its moisture through the ends, then that
would indeed make sense.



Stick a green log in the fire place and see where the moisture comes
out. Oh wait, we have already been there. LOL.
