[quote author="Remmy122" date="1297796351"]There was no second trip, but I did get alot of it on the first one. I think it will come in handy though, being that I need it seasoned for next year, and our burning season is what most of yall would consider a shoulder season (its been in the 70's all week and its looking like it will go on for the next few weeks).

We call that summer here :ahhh:

Here is something bad about pears - the trees usually have short trunk and tons of branches so the processing is tough and you don't get a lot of wood from the effort. I assume you are talking about ornamental pears, aka Bradford Pear or Callery Pear. Edible pear trees would be similar. Not saying I wouldn't go for the pear, but don't expect big, clear logs.

For the time you put in, I think you'd get at least as many BTUs from Tupil Poplar and you would from pear, even though the pear wood is more dense.

I dont know, most of a bradford pear is limbs, so all I see is cutting the limb to length, thus not alot of work. Rarely do I see a truck thats over 12 in wide. Im new to collecting my own wood, but this is the logic Ill be going with.
