I've got quite a few large ash trees that have been killed by the emerald ash borer. Fantastic firewood; already partially dried and easy to split. The trees have been dead at least 3 years now. When I cut them down early incipient decay is obvious, but wood still provides excellent heat. I'm curious if anyone knows at what age a standing dead tree is no longer worth harvesting for firewood, i.e., what percent do the potential BTUs decrease/year?
