Any wet firewood tricks?
Any tricks to dry out wet (as in damp from rain, not green) firewood? We typically use the dryer pieces and stack the wetter ones around the outside of the fire ring so they can start to dry a bit as...

I owned a 36 foot motorhome and it cramped my camping preference .
We camp 70% without hookups .
We have a circle of friends that prefer to dry camp , often " dispersed camping " on public lands in Oregon .
We do not stay in RV parks in a 40 foot motorhome as you do , anymore .
I did not need my fire building skills at Outdoor Resorts - Cathedral City for the multiple winter trips there .
I just returned from a February trip to the Oregon Coast and it was wet as usual .
But we had good campfire because the technique of laying a flat piece of OSB on top of the fire invigorated a smoky fire into a smokeless fire .
We used the common ( wet ) firewood available locally but I knew by taking a box of OSB scraps that we could enjoy our campfires .
As we often do , we were a party of six from around the state , meeting up at a different location .
The OSB on Top technique works every time without exception including boondock firemaking with just a circle of rocks around the fire .
Newbies are surprised every time how simple this is .
Please enjoy your Florida RVing in your motorhome .
We will attempt to enjoy our Oregon Camping amongst the giant Doug Firs and Ponderosa Pines without hookups .
We need a fire and you do not .
If you need any suggestions about camp spots in Oregon I am here to serve .
BTW the Tower of Terror rocks !
