No lol. You need to bust out a moisture meter to prove that the wood is drier. Pressure also drives stuff INTO wood.
 You can take a typical bow wood and put one end in water and blow bubbles through a 20 foot length. All those tubules have water driven into them when streaming or boiling.
 Wood has to dry out after any water treatment.
 You don't make veggies crispy and dry by steaming them , do you?

Well, I'm not the best cook :o ;D

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

That worked out great for you redbear.  Are you going to let that one season a little while longer, I know you were saying last week that it was only cut down 6 months ago.   would be a shame to get into a hurry and mess up that beautiful piece of osage.
