Will do, but shipping is going to be a biyatchNice, I'm jealous. Send some my way!
That's sweet! Looks like some good burning for you next season. Tho ash ( as far as I know doesn't have creosote in it) can be burnt anytime
That's good info, I got that info from an old timer
Creosote can also be produced when a person runs their stove too cool, allowing the gases in the smoke to condense in the chimney.
I don't think Jake is that old... Creosote is produced when wood combustion by-products cool, condense and are deposited in the flue; No wood contains creosote but the ingredients can be made by burning any type of wood.That's good info, I got that info from an old timer
I heard the same things , tho I am still a newbie at it , I have gained a lot if knowledge from this site thanksNo problems . . . I grew up hearing the same thing.
Old time advice . . . sometimes very good and sometimes very bad (i.e. pine causes creosote, a chimney fire in the chimney once in a while is a good thing, burning up a beer can or potato skins in the stove helps creosote.)
Good score, thanks go to my wife who found it walking the dogs. It was at the bottom of a shared driveway of 2 houses. I gave both owners some, one I split it up and delivered and stacked it, the othern I cut him rounds. Best to be courteous and generous. I am going to swap some of this for real nice cherry and locust and mapes from a friend who wants the ash to sell, truckload for truckload. I think that's fair eh?Nice score! I've been getting a lot of ash this season myself. Easy to split, seasons quickly, burns well... what's not to like?
White Ash? Locust is higher BTU, Cherry isn't, the Maple might be equal, if it is hard (Sugar) Maple. I would probably just keep the White Ash, great all-around wood...for sure, I'd have to see what the other guy had first before a trade. Unless the EAB is there and you'll be getting more Ash than you know what to do with.I am going to swap some of this for real nice cherry and locust and mapes from a friend who wants the ash to sell, truckload for truckload.

I use an Ariens 27 ton splitter, with a Subaru motor. I ramp up the heavy pieces onto the truck and splitter, works great. Have a Fiskars 27 and a Fiskars hatchet use those for kindling and smalling up hardwood. One of the best tools I ever got was a Pickaroon from Peavey Mfg., on Rte. 9 in Eddington Maine (http://peaveymfg.com), sometimes just call it a Peavey. Mine is a 30" Katahdin. Perfect for moving logs and rounds as need be. Peavey is a great company, made in USA, and more importantly made in the Great State of MaineVery nice! I have a few pieces that are around that size that I need to split, what are the tools of the trade for splitting up such large pieces of wood? I have an automatic splitter (5-ton) but these seem far too large for it. Thanks for any advice.
