Hi everybody.
My neighbor cut down a Cedar tree and I'm temped to snatch up the wood to burn next year. The wood burning manual states it puts out less BTU's than pine. Should I stay away from it?
Also, what about burning old wood chairs? (Yes, I have been called cheap before)
Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
and if you want any help with that cedar tree, you just let me know and I'll be there.......within a hundred miles or so I hope
