Oh... you’ve got a hickory surplus you say.. if it’s good I’d buy that off you.  I can’t seem to find any more than oak, pecan and cherry around here.  I’d love to get my hands on hickory that’s been split.  I don’t even care if I need to season it myself.

I don't know if I'm allergic or not.  I don't put it on an active burn pile while it's green.  Usually I pile up small trees, brush, etc. and wait for a couple of weeks to burn it.  Once the fire gets hot enough I pile on the bigger trees and stumps.  I did one today that is still burning.  I'll go back out there tomorrow and it should mostly be done.  I'll push what is left into a pile, throw another huge pile of smaller stuff on top of it and repeat (the "hot spot" will be very hot still in the morning.

As far as buying firewood, I have not sold any yet.  I've given a bunch away, some of it already seasoned.  If you want to run a chainsaw and a log splitter you are more than welcome to come and get as much as you want.  I have a little bit of Hickory left and a bunch of Oak that I need to get rid of.  It's a bit of a drive down to the Keystone Heights/Melrose area.

You’re about 50 minutes out then. I’m not sure I’m interested in the oak.  That’s plentiful enough.  I’ll pull a few logs from peoples yard waste and it can be readily bought.  I’ve got a decent amount of oak and pecan in a shed as of now.  Hickory eludes me. I’m not fond of buying the “chunks”. If you’re getting rid of it and are going to burn it otherwise, yeah, I’ll swing buy.  Are we talking trunks to where I need a trailer or larger rounds a pickup will do?
