First thing, make sure the damper is open over the fire to create an updraft. 2. Crumble up several newspapers and place on the grate. 3. Place small twigs over the paper. 4 Now take the oak and make them lean against each other directly over the twigs. 5. Light the paper and gently blow into the twigs to get them burning. 6. This will catch the oak logs on fire, but they should not be more than 4" in diameter, may need to split them in half or quarters.

My dad uses a wood heat stove and has for years. He usually tries to use wood a year behind.. So it has at least a whole year to season. But, I wouldn't think oak would be useless if it's used sooner.

It depends. If it was cut green (alive) it might be a couple years. It depends on a few things:
Is the climate of your area dry & arid or moist & humid?
How small is it cut? 12" long? 8' long?
Where is it stored? Off the ground w/ room to breathe?
