crazy ash

[Ross Smith]

as we all know ash is a a top quality firewood.been burning it here for the last few yrs and found it to be the best around but but ive recently taken down a perfectly healthy ash tree for a council job,took all the nice rings home,split em but but they are not burning that well luckily have some beautifully seasoned beech and oak but have noticed that the ash is not giving off that sizzling intense heat im used too.has anyone else experienced this

Is the Ash you usually burn well seasoned? Although you can burn Ash green it's still much better to season it.

What was the reason for taking down the Ash if it was perfectly healthy???

[welwell]

Can't help m8 always found Ash to be most agreeable when it comes to burning it

If you have been burning "green" Ash for some time, you may have tard up the flue, which will inhibit the fire with any wood. Ash will burn well wet, but cleaner and hotter seasoned.
