I'll give you $40 if you bring it to my house and stack it like that on my bonfire wood pile. $$$ Cash!

Put 3 more stacks like that on a pickup ,and it "wood" be worth a hundred dollars here. Delivered to my door.

Yep, just cut and split a cord of ash last week. After splitting a cord of stringy elm and cottonwood I had forgotten how relaxing splitting wood was.

My guess is you'll be giving it away for free unless you split and dry it.

So much ash around here most everything gets passed on and is waste. No reason to split and stack and do all that work for the great big trees when there are as many 9" round trees a guy could want that just need lopped up into pieces. Makes good fire wood though. Supply and demand... and its easy to find right now.

My woods was about half Ash. I have been cutting for three years and have about three more to go. If I put it at the road for free, someone will take it. Put a price on it and it will not leave. There is more dead Ash around here then you can imagine. Two days ago I was working by my shed and need a tool. Went in the barn and came back and a Ash had fallen not ten feet from where I was standing. Winds have been blowing hard here.

Ash is easy peasy to split. Lots of it available around here though, that little green ash borer moved in and will do its share of ash tree killing. Projection is for no more ash trees in several years left alive. But we have lots of other great hardwoods around here. Oak, maple, cottonwood, and walnut all grow like weeds. Most wood burners or weekend campfire folks around here wont know difference or pay a premium for ash over any of those other good dried and seasoned hardwoods that I am aware of.

Put a sign on it: "Private Wood. Please do not take."

Someone will come by during the night and take it and you will be all set!

They'll probably take the sign and leave the wood.

So, your woods is half-ashed?

I'm a bit envious of any true hardwood, especially if it was easy to get. We burn mostly white spruce, birch, aspen in that order. Ash, oak, maple, etc. sound great.

My wifes grandmother liked to burn ash in her wood burning cook stove, it burned well but not to hot unlike hickory.

I like ash, it split easily and I think it burns well. The ash bug is killing all my ash trees and is primarily what I have been burning for two years. I have a year or two to go. That would not require splitting to go into in my outdoor boilers 48"×36" fire box with 24x24" door.

My guess Is you may end up giving it away. If someone would give $20 take it. You can always ask more and see what happens.

People are fickle example: my wife had had no one show interest when we were giving away our manix kittens. I told her to put $50 on them and they sold in less than week. You would be surprised what works.
