Never did it with oak Cory. Can't give an honest answer. Birch, sugar maple, hickory, various soft maples, cherry, ash and walnut. Dry as a the driest wood you've ever burned after being in a basement with a woodstove and air moving.
Regular stacking. I only make sure I have a few seasoned cords. The rest of the cords I need get stacked green in the basement right before winter and get dried right out indoors. The wood burns with a crackle, and no steam blowing out the ends. Kiln dry. I swear.
If you put hardwoods in a basement with a burning stove, you'll have wood as dry as a bone in no time. I've stacked two cords of fresh cut green sugar maple in my basement and after a month of being there with the stove burning and fan blowing, it was kiln dry.
I season wood much faster then anyone would believe if I told them. My wood yard is on top of a hayfield hill, in full sun, with a constant breeze/wind.
