Does ash have to be burned as soon as cut?

    Is the OP serious or are we being trolled?
    The question is so ridiculous it's hard to believe it's for real.

    It was a live cut tree, guy had rounds all over his yard I stopped and asked if their for the taking...he replied and said he’s getting 17 more trees cut down, I almost collapsed from those words “17 more cut down” it’s like winning the lottery. So I will stack and season them and let them dryyy for a year or 2....rookies will always be rookies

    Did U just say meow, do I look like a cat to you boy, am I jumping around from tree to tree all nimbly bimbly

    No doubt about it, you come across some very strange people. I know of ash that has been put up for around 15 years before it was burned and burned fantastically well. I have heard of someone burning some that was 20 years in the stack. Personally I'm not sure if I've ever burned any over 7 years but have burned much at that age. Great fires!

    In addition, I well remember the time I had cut some ash and then forgot to get it. It laid in the woods, in the wet for 3 or 4 years. After it dried, it burned excellently. Ash is one of the longest lasting woods there are even if laying on the ground.
