I have heard that the wood from trees struck by lightening does not burn. A myth I am sure, but is there any truth in it?

There is absolutely truth in this! This wood can be dangerous. If it is Oak, Ash or Maple, don't touch it or burn it. Have it delivered to my house and I will properly dispose of it. Oh, there is also a fee for disposing of hazerdous waste that you'll have to pay!
Also, All kidding aside, I have notice that wood with lightning scars splits harder than normal.
A few years ago my neighbor had an big oak struck by lightning in his front yard. The insurance company wanted to pay less than the tree service guy wanted to take it down because my neighbor would benefit from the firewood. The tree service guy called Allstate and told them that lightning takes the btus out of the wood and the idiots believed him and paid up.
