I have at least 4 loads, log size 10 to 20 footers, mostly ash stacked as neat as I could in three seperate piles in a clearing. I dont know how to get rid of it, looking for ideas, I dont want to give it away....

Burn It.

Hi,
Sell it for fire wood, or call a logging company who could buy it from you,

If you have a way to haul it, sell it as "log length" firewood. It goes for $80-$100 per cord here. If you can't haul it, call an area firewood dealer. You might get around $50 per cord that way.

Or, look for a timber outfit that advertises "roadside pickup." Mills that take those loads, if you have any mills around, often want standard, uniform lengths and minimum diameters.

Ash is great firewood,I am sure some-one would buy it.Put an ad on Craig's list or rural papers.

If you do sell it for firewood sell as is you will make more with handling it less.

Sorry I thought you meant just stack it up and burn it, I have years of firewood, and this would be way too much for one person.

I have done that too. Here we have the emerald ash borer that's been devastating this state. Won't find a ash tree here in ten years I think.

Have it sawn into lumber. Prices for select ash range from $2.70 to nearly $4.00 a bd ft for select lumber dependent upon thickness. Even if you get less than select grade prices you will get more fom lumber than fom firewood. The downside is you will have more time in the lumber deal.

Just a suggestion.

If its ash, you may not be able to transport it anywhere due to the emerald ash borer. Check you local and state laws regarding the transport of ash wood.
