OK kind of a silly question but can a tree be too dead and too old to burn effectively?....
I know it will burn and will give some level of BTUs but is there a point to where a tree loses some of its ability to give off heat?
Reason why I am asking - I have a monster on my property, She is at least 40 inches in diameter, I am guessing it has been dead at least 10~15 years, there is no bark anywhere, huge limbs going everywhere…she’s a beast.
Do I take the time to drop it, buck and split it or should I go for something more fresher and just make a burn pile out of her?
Trying to justify my time on something that may not give me much of a return...
Thx,
Jim
