Actually got paid to take a fruit wood!

[EatenByLimestone]

A neighbor's stepson needed a small pair tree taken down. I said ok since it wasn't going to hurt anything when it came down. So I took it down and picked up a weeks worth or so of wood for next year. The guy asks, "What do you want for it?" I say, just the pieces that I sectioned 18". He says, "No, I have to pay you something for coming over." So I ended up with a free tank of gas. The guy is the stepson of a friend of mine, I didn't want anything. (but the wood!)

I referred him to a tree guy I have gotten wood from for some trees in his back yard that were too close to the house... Maybe my scrounging for next year is almost done?

Okay, was this a pair tree, a pear tree or a peach tree?

Karma . . . God's will . . . good things coming . . . whatever you want to call it . . . always nice to do someone a favor and have that favor come back and benefit you . . . and from the sounds of it you might have benefited in the short run (free gas, free wood now) and the long run (free wood later.)

Landscaper / arborist / lawn guy would have charged for thier time and disposal.
If he could have found someone who would have bothered with a fruit tree. Especially a dwarf one.
I'd rather pay you something for your time and effort than owe a favor.
You're more likely to come back again, too.

I got about 1/3 face cord of pear wood from Heatit here. I traded him for some cherry. I do alot, and I mean lot of smoking/BBQ'ing all year around, and that pear is some of the best wood I have used on my home made Canadian Bacon and Boston Butts. That stuff can also be a pain to split.

It's pair. I'll set some to the side for the smoker. I burnt all the apple I had stored up from last year. Thanksgiving is coming up! Smoked turkey!

Ohhh what a pair that would make (liking finger good) smoked turkey stuffed with pear ;-P

Maybe it was a pair of pears? ;-)

You need to pare down that pair to just one pear.

For BBQ I tried some peach and it was nice , I think I might try mixing in a little apple I have and I always like to throw a log or two in the fireplace when we have folks over.
