These trees blew down about 3-4 years ago were bucked last spring before I really got into scrounging heavy and started keeping a log of downed trees. At this point as an "expert" scrounger I'd classify these as too much work but since I already committed to them I am going to use them as boiler fuel this winter. Between bucking and noodling I probably have 6 hours into them so far with at least another 2-3 hours to finish up the job. They (Norway pine) do put out the same heat output as black ash so it isn't like they are bad, just too much work compared to the rest of the wood I have documented in my "little black book" of scrounge. And since things have leafed out here I have another 20 plus birch trees that bit the dust since last year thanks to birch borer.
