Whats best?

[firewood]

The point of this thread is that i was throwing into question the real suitability of green ash as a substitute for seasoned logs, Customer opinion seems to vary because thats what they get told by firewood merchants

 

I WAS SEEKING A PROFESSIONAL OPINION?

 

 

Anything dry is better than anything wet!

I think the answer was in your own question unfortunately - green versus seasoned - irrespective of species - what would you choose?

 

Yep, green ash 'will do', especially on a woodburner, but nothing to beat well seasoned wood. I suppose it could be mixed into a load, green ash is ok, but maybe not quite as fantastic as the well known poem goes on about! And the weight issue, if you sell by weight that is.

Are you not a proffesional?

 

You could do a very scientific test yourself to find out, it goes as follows.....

step 1) Light 1 fire out of green Ash

step 2) light 1 fire out of seaasoned wood

step 3) stand back and watch

step4) see what burns better

Sam, all you need remember is the old adage;

 

Wood burns, water doesn't.

That is why i asked the question as a competitor is doing the same!!!!

You have confirmed what i already knew

1....Seasoned is best

2....Some firewood merchants will sell green ash and say its as good as seasoned logs
