lol I didn't know what else to title it. Sounds kinda like 'dehydrated water'.
As some of you may remember... we had a large wildfire this summer. It moved through fast and furious, leaving acres upon acres of trees that need removing. This is mostly gambel oak and utah juniper. They're charred on the outside, but mostly just the bark layer, with lots of good btus underneath. Akin to a bacon wrapped steak, these are charcoal wrapped logs.
So my questions are these:
What would that do to the moisture content... burnable this year? or still need seasoning? I know temps were hot enough to melt aluminium and glass, but it would have been short in duration. Moisture content was pretty low anyway this year because of drought.
Other than the mess... would there be any drawbacks to burning it in my Englander 28-3500?
Pros: Lots of it. Easy access.
Cons: messy. Not seasoned enough (?) for this year. ???
