    I found this super solid, seasoned Ash firewood for free on Nextdoor. It was about 15 minutes from me.
    The homeowner's just moved up here from Wisconsin and wanted it gone. They are doing fire mitigation. Win-win for both of us. Really nice folks.

    Ash doesn't grow up here. This is city wood from the Denver metro area that the previous owners hauled to the mountains. It filled about 3/4 of my trailer. Around a cord, i'd say. I already have it split and stacked.

    I'll take it!

    95% of what I burn! Until this year, less and less ash now around here.

    That's a very nice score you found. Looks good and won't take long to finish drying

    It really is good when you can help someone out and yet help yourself at the same time.
