Question for all the firewood geeks out there..

Is it possible that winter could dry out splits faster than summer?

Assuming no rain or snow on the wood..

I would think that the very low humidity & breezy conditions would allow for that.

I have had similar thoughts & seem to have experienced the results you are talking about.

Even at best times during peak drying time humidity will be double or more of those in winter.

Dry windy winter weather is very good wood curing conditions.
Ideal for lumber cause no mold or bugs.

I would think it is possible as long as dry and windy; and above freezing.

Here is my problem/question: If the wood is frozen, will it dry out? It doesn't seem like the moisture will go anywhere as long as it is frozen. Am I right or wrong?

I have split wood and put where it's always in the sun in winter and it sure works on drying it out.

Put the splits in this brush pile here: \/

Burnt a brush pile today.

It was warm.

It will dry much faster than in the summer.
