Evergreen OK to burn?

[Super_Spud]

As above really.

 

Have 4 large evergreens which are to come down shortly.

Are they burnable?

 

Been told that evergreens are a bit sappy and therefore not to good to be burning in a log burner.

 

Would obviously be seasoned.

 

Any truth to the above?

 

Kindest Regards

Agreed, will be to wet for this winter but get them cut up and split now, keep undercover but let the wind blow through the stack and they will be fine next winter.

 

I do find my machine struggles a bit cutting the likes of Leylandi especially if its wet.

What machine? Firewood processor?

If so which one?

 

Fresh cut, it should be like a hot knife through butter

Burns great. Good for getting the heat up quick and good for kindling. Split it and stack it now in a sunny spot with a roof over it it will be dry for winter. Most wood takes about 4 months to dry it stored correctly. The 1 year rule is a load of rubbish if stored correctly

Thanks everyone, it was also under the impression all wood is OK if seasoned enough.

 

Thanks for the re-assurance

Japa 700, has 700mm TCT blade so you would have thought hot knife through butter.

 

When wet the sap is actually running out of it when cut, if its been down 6 months or more its a lot easier.
