Firewood Questions
Recently I had a cord of “seasoned” wood delivered. The best I can describe is that the wood appears seasoned, with no fresh smell, or any other obvious indicators. I built a fire with kindling, and All threw a couple logs into the fire and starting hearing a “Hissing” Sound. There seems to be foam coming out of the wood. Inspecting the rest of the wood, seems fine, but wet from weather. I’m starting to hear the “hissing from more and more logs, and they’re not lighting up very well. Did I get the shaft on this wood, or do I need to let it dry out?

Your from NJ so it got wet, then froze, now you are heating it up in the fire and it is thawing out.
Now, a cord is 128 cubic feet 4x4x8 or any other that adds up to 128. As Maxwell says, coicle your answer. The only way to dry it out is put some near the fire for a few days.

What kind of wood is it? In my experience with burning wood, what I see in the picture you posted is the wood is not seasoned long enough. Oak needs 12 months to season.

The wood may be seasoned, but it still can be wet if not stored under cover. Like Lew says, letting it dry out a couple days will help. It's hard to tell, but do I see rotted sap wood in the picture?
Just inspect your chimney flue often for creosote build up especially with wet wood burning.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
