lime = fire wood ?

[firewoodman]

ash is also in the same family as the olive tree and the wood contains a certain amount of oil which helps the fresh wood to catch easier than others.

 

in my experience fresh ash is no better than any other fresh wood

 

but lime will dry faster than ash

When dry enough, wood is wood.

did 6 lime tree pollards in town today, we had people coming in cars taking away the wood - we let people have it as we would have taken it back to yard - but if they want to help us out and save carting it back no probs - all wood is good if dryed out .

We get this more and more - wood fever. It doesn't matter what it is, free wood is free wood. So off they go with a boot load of hard work, nowhere to store it, no tools for efficient processing but it was free. It will probably be burnt in under a year and, despite being crap for heat and difficult to light it will be the best wood they ever had.

 

We spend a lot of time pollarding limes and willows - both burn beautifully after a year. We use a flue temperature gauge to avoid problems with blocking up - our sweep is very complementary about how clean the flue keeps.

:confused1:Do you always cut your wood into pencil sizes pieces??????

 

Must be very time consuming.
