[AT] Off Topic -- burning wood / bonfires

[Dean Vinson]

Mike, that's my general approach with the osage orange also.   One bit of advice, though.  If you use the tractor bucket for shoving the ends in on a big bonfire, but you also use the tractor bucket to haul the chainsaw back to where you're working after refilling it/changing the chain/whatever, stop and take the saw out before you shove in the fire again.   Saws seem to prefer that approach.  Trust me.  ;)

I'm in a similar situation here, parts of my property are covered with what I believe are honey locusts. Friends tell me it's great firewood and that I should cut it up for that. But the thorns on these trees are ridiculous, they make it hard to even get close to the tree, and the trees are literally covered with bunches of them. I'm leaning towards just felling them putting them in the tractor bucket and having a big bon fire.
