Default Juniper wood

Would you burn juniper wood in a fireplace?

Does it have too much resin in it?

Last week I burned three large piles of juniper wood that's been drying out since July. I put a match to some needles and the whole thing went up quick. Fire was 30 feet in the air.

That was just the branches, I still have a lot of big trunks, and more branches to cut. I don't have a fireplace but thought I might give it to a neighbor if it won't mess up their fireplace. I don't know a neighbor who has a fireplace, but could probably find one.

I don't want to get anyone else to cut the trees because they're close to the house, and it needs to be done carefully. One tree is going to be real tricky because of the house, c-band satellite antenna, and the power lines. I'll probably have the power company come out and trim the tops, they've done it before, to get them out of the power lines.

Will probably have at least a cord when cut.

If you want the wood and are willing to pay shipping I'll send it to you, plus a handling charge.
