When is best time to split wood?

[Nate379]

When it is not 110 degrees out....

Or -30* and the house is freezing!

...when the family is over and I have lots of help moving firewood :D ;D

Most family members will work for good home cooked food and a few beers afterwards

The best time to split wood is between 8:00 and noon. That way you've got the rest of the day to yourself.  ;D

We usually take the splitter with us into the woods and do all the splitting there. That way you can leave the mess there and stack a tighter load in the truck or trailer.

  Best time to split is when you darn well feel like it but better when frozen.

Should cut it and split it right after the tree has fallen or what some time?

This is just some test run I took and split some Oak in my kiln got it down to 15 % took it out side and set it in the open let it rain on it off and on for three days. Took my two testers and checked the wood 12 hours later the moister was at 17 on the ends split the sticks all the wood was 15 % from the center out to a quarter inch of the out side. So I am still not going cover my wood.
