Driest tree I have ever cut down

Standing dead ash, hit the ground and exploded into a million pieces. Thinking it may be below 15% moisture content, and I might just test it when I split it this weekend.

 

Did you happen to notice that in the back of your picture there appears to be a terrifying Terminator-style mechanical monster with a gaping jaw filled with razor sharp steel teeth?

Did you make it back to the house OK after you took the snapshot? ... Hello?

 

Yeah, it doesn’t like being chained down.

 

I don't know, looks an awful lot like it was cut with a chainsaw into convenient sized pieces to me.

 

How can you possibly top this post? Kudos billb3

 

I cut one down last year that looked like Tootsie Rolls when it hit the ground.
What a pain to clean up. I burned all the tops right where it landed

 

My sugar may have been low...
I'm not positive ...

 

I cut a tree down that was so dry, it caught on fire when it hit the ground!

 

Well I cut a tree down that was so dry it caught on fire while I was cutting it, and it blew itself out when if fell!

 

I'm thinking you need to soak it in some water...... I read on the internet that firewood can be too dry.......

 

You read that on the internet? Then it must be true.

 

By chance have you split a piece of that and checked the moisture with a meter. Be had them blow apart when they hit the ground but the moisture is usually higher that I had guessed.

I bet it is over 20%.

 

Some pretty good one liners there guys had me cracking up.

 

I didn’t , split it up with some other stuff in the way and sold it. Just dropped it offf.

 

Jeez, I hope you at least told them to stack it on the ground, in the shade, wrapped with a blue tarp all the way to the bottom. Gotta prevent spontaneous combustion ya know....
