Firewood Question

[farmer steve]

picked up the wood from the guy today. he did help a little. gave me $20 for gas. wanted to know if i had any other wood. NOPE it's all the same. told him his best chance for clean dry wood would be at lowes or home depot in the little bundles.

I would have charged him a restocking fee.
Then tell him you can sell him better wood but it would cost slightly more than the regular. Then sell it back to him.

Well you are a good man for taking it back.

There are fungi spores in the air we all breath everyday. You should be fine.

found this thread while doing research on the web. just had a customer call and complain about the wood i delivered today. there is a type of white fungus growing on the ends of the wood and the customer is freaking out. he never said a word when he helped unload it. it is oak that has been cut split and stacked for over a year. never had a complaint in over 30 years of selling wood. he bought wood from me before with no problems. comments please.

i probably wouldn't use it to grill steaks in a fire pit , or smoke a chicken with , but i have burned a lot of punky , moldy fungi wood in the stove , i like clean dry wood and i save that and burn the punky stuff first , hey cheap or free punky wood is better than no wood .

I have burned a lot of wood with white looking fungus growing off the ends before. The fire didn't mind, my bet the btu's were the same too.

My goodness, you mean to tell me there's fungus among us? Sheesh, I hope he can find himself some perfect, dry, kiln dried face cords for sale. I burn lots of fungus at the beginning of every fire season. No biggie to me.

I burn fungus cropping wood rounds all the time, I just don't store it inside.
I get the pieces and throw them in the woodstove right away. No harm in that.

I eat the fungus, so I don't know how it would hurt ya. Fry them just like morels, they are AWESOME, haven't you all heard of hickory jacks.
