A neighbor of mine recently cut down a bunch of what I think is Willow, and had it in stacks on his yard. I was wondering what he was going to do with it, unfortunately he told me someone else had already claimed it.
Today he knocked on my door and told me that the guy didn't show, and that he was bringing his tractor back and could deliver it to my place, no charge, no problem.
I've heard Willow isn't really worth the while because it burns fast and not too hot.
I was wondering if the more knowledgeable could tell me:
a) Is this definitely willow?
and b) is it worth cutting, splitting and stacking to use in my wood stove next winter? Or should I just use it outdoors in the campfire?
His neighbor is cutting down a ton of this stuff as well today and he told me if I haul it away it's mine.
My thinking was that it's all free wood and so better than nothing, but would you guys advise that it's not worth the work? (The neighbors' stuff is thicker than most of the logs in the picture, I know a lot of those are on the thin side).
Thanks for any info!
