There are people who will burn it. The electric company had one removed from the electric right of way, they chunked it up and left it in the old folks yard that own the property. They called us up mid to late July and asked us how much we'd charge to remove it, kinda of knew about the people, he's like 81 was a career Army guy, was in Korea and served three tours in Vietnam, prolly at least 36-38" dia, went and looked at it, helluva mess. Anyone that sells wood knows there are always a leech who wants any trash wood, ends/pieces etc. I call him up and ask how he like to have at least one or two truck loads and a 16" trailer load. He ask how much, I tell him 50.00, just enough to cover fuel cost, tell him thats not split, just cit into rounds and set on his truck and trailer. I do the job for free for the old veteran. The guy shows up like a hungry buzzard smelling a gut wagon. We just chunk it everything in 20" lengths, it's only about a mile and 1/4 from the house so we roaded our little tractor up to the place and use our logging tongs and set dripping wet cotton wood on his trailer. We loaded everything we could load on the trailer, loaded the Ford 150 he drives to the max, I mean I'm getting concerned about the weight, he says keep loading her boys. When we finished his rear bumper was literally 6" off the ground. I have never seen such a over load in my life, to pull over the little hill he had to go over, he had to lock into 4x4 low range with his 300 six cylinder. The old gentleman and I laughed to our sides hurt. It was worth doing it for the old veteran for free for serving our country in two wars. It was worth selling the worthless wood for 50.00 for the entertainment value of watching a firewood buzzard in action. He was going to burn it in his OWB sometime this year. I wish we had taken pictures, some folks will tear up a 2500.00 trailer and a 25k truck for worthless,almost free wood.lol
