Some straight stuff in there, you could probably get decent board lengths out of some of them if you were into that business.
I am glad I saw this post. Several years ago we had a winter storm that knocked down a lot of the pines on the property. I was afraid to cut any of them because I was told that pine would cause creosote build-up inside of the chimney and could cause a chimney fire. A lot of these pines are still off of the ground due to limbs etc and I think many will still be solid. Is it OK to cut them for firewood?
Likely to have termites foraging in them if dead and leaned up that long, but get any salvageable wood you can, stack it off the ground and as the wood dries the bugs will leave. I just dropped a beetle killed and a green pine Saturday - the weight difference between the two is substantial. Dead PINE standers/leaners will be near seasoned within 4 months of splitting
Rains moving in for the next couple of days so I might not be able to check on any of them for a couple of days. However, I guess if there is anything worth salvaging they are on the property and easy to reach.
That's what I was thinking! I wonder if it's bad to wash your hands with gin and then lick your fingers?
It's stacked near the back of the house and I can smell it every time I walk out. It does smell good.
