    Neighbor had this cut down and texted me it was out by the curb. I literally drove my garden tractor and wood trailer across the street. Wasn't much but I was doing him a favor and more wood for me, every bit helps.

    Just not sure what the hec it is and not much to go on from pics.

    Not good to burn it as the smoke is toxic. Ill remove it with the axe or machete while processing or better yet while at the score.

    you know how lazy I am. I use the top of the bar and slice it off the trunks. Just make sure you take a good hot shower afterwards. Same with the work clothes. Otherwise,,,,,,:)

    I have burned lots of the stuff in the stove but do not like to burn it in an open fire.

    Whaaat?! Noooo way!
    Honestly. That's a bit horrifying to think of how many leaves are nearby and how easy it would be to get into.

    Try to use the top of the bar if you need to cut PI. Sling the chips away from you. You should still expect to get some one you.

    I got wrecked once by burning poison ivy in a brush fire and had it all over from the smoke, had to get some shots and then was on steroids for about a week. I looked like Sloth from the Goonies or something.
