The Observation Deck

After a lot of leg pulling and anticipation the lump charcoal has arrived in northeast Ohio and We have it at Lakewood Hardware just in time for the memorial day weekend.

Thanks for the info - that stuff is the best for grilling. What are the quantities available/cost?

20# Bags are 12.99 a slight increase from last year due to "the excessive rains that hinderd harvesting". Plenty of stock on hand today.

Will you be offering gift wrapinig during the Christmas season?

Bill-

Just bring your stocking...

The Emerald Ash Borers are killing a lot of ash trees. Containment of the epidemic seems to involve cutting down all the Ash trees. Are they being converted to lumber or charcoal? People may as well get some use from it.

It is illegal to move ash trees, ash logs, ash branches, ash wood chips, ash bark, and all hardwood firewood out of Ohio's quarantined areas. These materials can move freely within, but cannot leave, contiguous quarantined areas. See Rule 901:5-56-03.

Note: A federal quarantine prohibits the movement of ash tree materials and hardwood firewood out of the state of Ohio without federal certification. This does not change Ohio's quarantine, which still makes it illegal to take ash tree materials and hardwood firewood out of infested counties.

what if the wood is kilned and milled, or turned into Charcoal? can it be removed from the quarantine zone after that processing?

No... quarantined is quarantined under the law.
