Storm damage wood

[WellSeasoned]

I went to the next town up who unfortunately had terrible storms last weekend. I paused for a moment when the thought popped into my head, should I try and see if the folks up there would like to give me their wood, or is this selfish due to their misfortune. I thought a moment more, and decided that it may be more helpful than selfish. It was... A tree service charges for felling, and REMOVAL of the tree, which this couple didn't have it removed, and were happy to see it go. So I was happy to help them and aquire the wood. It is pear and a maple species. Be well

I hear ya on the ill feeling of someone else misfortune. I have done the same thing, found folks through networking and been able to score a few cords here and there after a storm. good for you!

You did a noble deed, and the rewards will keep you warm. Nice job!

I have gone and helped clean up and even cut and stacked wood for people who wanted to keep it. As long as you focus on helping out first then the free wood is just a bonus. Keeps you warm either way...I think you did very well...

Nice score. You did good.
Most of it looks like it will split easy & into some nice sized splits.

I may try and shoot back up there today. I was ably to split most of it. Does anybody know how the pear burns? Obviously not burning this year...

Havent seen or burned very much of it,but Pear is excellent.Very similar to Apple.Not near as many Pear trees planted in people's yards compared to Apple seems to be.Dont forget some on the smoker,covered grill or open pit either.

if its bradford pear i think that is very light wood and my guess is it wont burn anywhere near apple which is a very dense wood (right?).

Generally speaking, trees that give fruit burn very well; they are hard wood. Enjoy.
