Due to a sewer line going through my back yard. They pulled out a black cherry tree with a track hoe roots and all. Some of the root looked like nice logs. Can you dry and burn a root?

Yes, but only when they are above ground.

I got a few from uprooted trees from the october snowstorm that I have drying, the rain has cleaned the dirt off.
Stuff takes forever to dry and burns up in a heartbeat. No heartwood in it.
Yep. Not that I've burned cords of roots, but the chunks I pulled out from a big Silver Maple in my yard were very light when dried & burned quick in the fire pit.
Yes . . . but the few times I've had roots I've just tossed them on the pit fire or brush pile to burn . . . too much dirt and not enough "meat" to make it worthwhile for me to cut up.
I saw that and I thought . . . 'If it's so stupid, why would it make a person Yer an 8 . . . then I saw the location . . . and I said, "OH"
