Ok is there any truth in wood thats been hit by lightning wont burn very well or is it a Norfolk myth.

the thinking on this one is surely anything that burns well will burn when struck by lightning,things like lombardy,cherry etc wont even burn then

The old forester on the estate told me oak hit by lightning wont burn so i thought he must be right. then i had a large oak hit and died icut it up seasoned for two years and on the wood burner burned red hot.thinking about it what does lightning do it has to get to the ground takes the softest route the sap wood heats the sap which explodes. how can this render the wood useless? by the way when lightning strikes a hollow tree it runs down the inside round and round this is why hollow trees are burnt inside?
