So, I got the easiest score ever last month. My neighbor had his white oak taken down and I literally just had to roll the rounds across my property line. Sweet!
My concern is as I was splitting today I noticed some of the rounds had a blueish-black color to them. I assume it's OK and I split them anyway, but I'm curious: Is this some sort of tree disease? Is there any concern about burning them after they season? Should I separate them from the normal colored ones?
Sorry if this Is an ignorant question; 3rd season burner but 1st year scrounger/splitter here. Thanks!
