    Not for firewood just to remove the hazard as it was hanging over my friends garage.

    We have a ton here if you want it? Free for the taking! I'd be happy to load up my trailer and yours? It's gonna be a few years before it's dry though.

    Our current stove really doesn't like to burn it.
