    At least it dries quickly. Probably raises the relative humidity in your neighborhood while drying!!

    Tree guy was cutting next door Saturday and dropped a few chips off and said he would be back in a day or two. May have more in the next couple of days.

    Might not be the highest BTU's but to have it delivered to your yard would make that a Great score!
