Any name on this type in the ad?

Looks like Leylaandi, "Fresh logs" would put the fire out!
Would take 2 years in an airy shed to dry enough to burn.

Definately leylandii

I think your right. Thanks

And when it's dry the fire runs through it. Threw about 15 of these in a quarry last year. Not worth the hassle of cutting them up

There was one of those "charity auctions" up here in Cavan, at a place called Killinkere, raising money for the football club.
Some smart lad donated two silage trailer loads of that stuff .
The sap was running out of it.
A family of Dubs bought the lot, hopefully they didn't die of hypothermia that winter.......

Gums up the chain on chainsaw and its so knotty you couldn't split it! Wreck the flue of your chimney with the sap.
I don't know would l even waste a match on it trying to light it on a bombfire!!

Mooooo

Run it thru a chipper for use under straw for bedding

We were clearing a site a good few years back in Dublin. There were a row of Leylands to come down and we got them dropped and thought we’d be able to get the local kids to take them when cut up as it was the week before Halloween. They were even cute enough to refuse them.

If it's dry, it burns ok in a stove, leylandi makes good fencing stakes, slower to rot than most forestry thinnings

Leylandii is grand in a stove. Took a few out a few years ago that was in a hedge. Burned it 18 months later. As it was knotty I cut it into small logs that went directly into the stove. Better than forrestry timber but not as good as hardwood. The stuff in the picture is grand as it is not too large. You can cut into small blocks for stove. You may have to split a few but by cutting it small enough these should be few enough.

If it is coming free I would not refuse it.

Ideal for a stove if dry, but burns fast. You'd want to get it for a tenner. He clearly took down a tree and doesn't want to pay to dump it.

We've burnt it here. Surprised at the attitude to it, but we try and dry all timber for 2 years.
One thing for sure though, don't leave the branches lying around. They go up in flames like petrol. An older relative, who I thought would know better, got a fright when he lit some of it.

Great cheap burning timber, we burn as much of it we get!, usually considered by customers as not worth the effort, never a problem taking it away off a site where as if its a hardwood most people consider the hardwoods have a big value following them.

have at least 4 years of lelylandi firewood stored in a shed, we mix it with hardwood or if very cold weather a few stove nuggetts

I cant understand the negative comments above unless ppl tried to burn it without proper drying

Same as here and no problem with the stove.

Burnt plenty of it here with no issues. Lovely smell off it too while burning
