Re: Log Burners

Nightshade, there could be a very innocent explanation.

We have a log burner and every 3 or 4 years we have our trees trimmed - removing dead branches and keeping them in shape. We also regularly have trees blown down (3 in the high winds earlier this year). In the hurricane (although someone is sure to say that it was not really a hurricane) we had 6 big ones down including several oaks. After the hurricane it was impossible to sell the wood for timber so it all went on the wood burner.

The insurance company also recently insisted that we took down a few of the trees that were very close to the house.

I should also add that we regularly plant new trees to replace those lost.
