woodshed caravan?
ive lots of firewood to store and dry out,
i was thinking of using an old caravan perhaps with the windows taken out but then thought it would be too damp, shouldnt a wood store have more ventilation but been rain-proof, can i use the caravan or what design do the panel recommend for next year's firewood? -- [george] ~ [g] ~ ~ ~ ~ 07970 378 572 ~ ~ www.dicegeorge.com ~ ~ (c)2008 ~ ~ ~ |

Basically you just need to keep the (worst of the) rain off. Any kind
of open storage is good. Windswept to reduce humidity better. Sun exposed even better. I'm sure an old caravan would be fine, as would a bit of plastic sheeting weighted down on top of a log pile. |

In fact the sopping logs are still actually at lower moisture content than green wood Yes, I've noticed this. Some of my woodpile is under a dripping gutter, and as you say, it just makes them harder to start - but the core moisture content is ok. There seems to be a similar effect from steam-bending wood, it seems to be dryer afterwards. I have heard (but know nothing about) a technique for seasoning some timber (yew I think) by immersion in a river bed. |

There's a theory that violins made by Stradivarius, Amati etc sound so good because the wood was seasoned in the (salt) lagoon at Venice. And there was I thinking it was some interaction between stain, shellac and varnish. :-) Actually, that does sound a bit odd as Cremona is not too far from being the furthest from the sea you can get in Italy. -- Rod |
