I was just offered 22 dump truck loads of logs from a out of town company that's doing a large clearing job were I live. they were looking for a place to dump wood chips and in turn given the logs free. a buddy down the road from me wants all the chips I'm getting the logs. there's a lot of box elder, Poplar, ash and elm. would the Poplar and boxes elder be worth the hassle? I'll be hauling some of it with a 14 foot dump trailer. there also going to haul with there tri axle dump.

My opinion is if someone else is going to cut and haul to my place....IT ALL BURNS so I would take it. You will just have lower btus available from the softer wood.
-
Definitely worth it!! Some better than others, but it all burns. Worst that can happen is you throw a couple more pieces in.
-
Holly Crap 22 dump truck loads!! Heck ya!
-
If It's FREE Its For ME! :thumbup:

sounds good to me, when you get it home cutter up, and stack it in piles according to type of tree, then I would slowly mix the soft wood in with the good stuff on cold nights, that's what I do if I have soft wood, ill mix one or two big pieces in with the hardwood, all good.

We burn everything, even the crap off the ground, it's usually already seasoned 8)
When cutting, we take the hard woods, but if there is a basswood or poplar in the way,, she comes down!!

wood or beer ....free??? ....I'll take it! :-*

We've been clearing a swath thru our wood for some new fencing and in the process have taken down some poplar.. Some if it is pretty good size, like 30" diameter stuff. Anyway, I split it up pretty small and throw it in the boiler and it burns pretty darn good. I mix it in with some ash and oak and I still get real good burn times.. So, I would not be afraid burn it at all, especially if they will deliver it.. Does not get much better than that...
-
Absolutely worth it!..Free wood! For both of you guys!!
-
sounds like there going to be starting to cut next Monday; )

if anyone is in so. mn. and wants some lmk

Here's how I would decide:
If it's free, it's worth it.
If it costs $3,370.34 per full cord cut, split, and delivered, then it's not worth it: http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Evergreens-B002-Split-Firewood/dp/B001KW2B7M/ref=pd_sbs_petsupplies_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=13WBN0RGMKMX92JC32R2 (http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Evergreens-B002-Split-Firewood/dp/B001KW2B7M/ref=pd_sbs_petsupplies_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=13WBN0RGMKMX92JC32R2)

well so far they have hauled 5 large dump truck loads. most has been ash and elm some hard maple. the crew found someone else to take the more soft wood to there hauling the hard wood out here to me for finding someone who would take the wood chips. so far it's all been large 14 foot ish. logs. I've definitely got my work cut out for me cutting and stacking.

-
all of these trees came from a state park but you never know we're your going to find metal. earlier this year I found a log chain and binder that was used to hold the tree from splitting.

Three out of the four homes on my road are on OWB. A county road driver who plowed the road this week, said they would be happy to bring neaby tree removal wood, whenever the have it.
I said bring it, and we will cut it all up and divide it. Pretty sweet.
-
My question is why wouldn't it be worth it?
You can google the btu's of heat per cord in each type but if its free and close, I'm pretty sure your house and furnace don't care what species you toss in.
-
What a great deal, I wish I could find one like that.
