Right now I’ve been blessed because 90% or more of my wood is oak but if I can’t get oak I’ll take ash next. Love how it burns and great heat output. Around here if you see a live ash it’s nothing but a sapling.
I probably have at least 50 some three feet the wood peckers have took the bark off it looks crazy have anyone ever tried milling some I have a chain saw mill but I don't know what I would do with the boards will it stand up to weather like oak ? It burns up so fast that is why they named it ash because it makes tons of ashes but I better get used to it because I have a ton to use.
Baseball bats.Ash has a wide variety of uses.

That sounds like a great strategy.For the difficult looking ones I just cut 90% of the way and then slowly push over with my tractor. Safety glass in the cab is nice. I have had a close call or two.

Gugi47, I burn almost all ash in my owb. It does ash over during idle time but when it calls for heat my air blower gets it going good again. It also coals up quite abit to but that is normal with any wood in an owb. I have to stir it up and pull coals to the front and let the air blower burn it up or it will just pile up. Now an older owb without baffles or a smoke bypass will not ash up as most of the ash gets blown right out the short chimney. I added 6' to my chimney and have really noticed that the coals build up now, I blame it on not as much fine ash going out the short chimney when the air blower kicks on. In the old days on still snowy mornings you could see the grey ash on the snow and sparks coming out the short chimney.
