Thanks for the replys, thought leyland was no good for log burners but looks like i was wrong ?

Will pick some up and try it next winter ?

All wood is good wood,  as long as its DRY.  But never ever burn crerosoted wood.

I have to agree that dry wood is good wood but the sticky sap is a royal pain, gets on all the tools and gloves and on your hands when putting it on the fire.  No that it stops me burning it (about half my log pile is this) but given a choice I'd avoid it due to the sap.
Leave it in the pile another year or two, the sap goes hard eventually.

I have some leylandii - some that’s been in the stacks from last summer and some which I got in March.

 

There was little to no sap at all when I was working with it, does the amount of sap depend on when it was cut or could I have a different species altogether?
