Hi all,
Happy New Year, and all that stuff...
Now that the holidays are done... I'm contemplating what to do with the very first "real" Christmas tree our family has ever enjoyed. It is a magnificent fur tree, from the Carolinas... It cost us a fortune!
I've been clipping branches off of the thing slowly and feeding them to our PE Summit, who is devouring it handily. However... it's a boatload of work to do... and it burns very sappy.
Is anyone else doing something similar... or is it much wiser to just haul the thing out into the woods at the end of the yard and let mother nature do her tricks?
I'm concerned mostly about creosote from the very wet wood, not to mention the very erratic burning pattern in the stove.
Any opinions on the sappy matter?
