Is willow a good wood to burn in a fireplace?
Though willow is considered a hardwood, it doesn't burn as well as some other hardwoods that burn well in fireplaces, such as apple, beech, eucalyptus, hickory, maple, oak, and more.
Additional response -
It depends upon what you mean by good. Seasoned (dried) Willow will burn just fine in your fireplace. It has about half of the energy per volume that a harder wood like Oak, Beech, and Hickory have. So you will have to burn almost twice as much Willow to provide the same heat as the harder woods. But if it is properly seasoned, it will burn nicely, not smoke, and not risk excess creosote buildup.
There will also be more ash to clean up, but, at the end of the day, if you have seasoned Willow available to burn, burn it.
How much does it cost to add freon?
I just had the A/C guy do my old residential a/c system and he charged me $125 and added 4 pounds of Freon 22. That included the service call. It took him about 10 -15 minutes. But like they say, it ain't what you do it's what you know. This was 6/25/2007 in Boise Idaho. He said he was extremely slow and had to lay off 5 guys so he was hungry. He primarily does new construction and was down to just him and one other guy. I just read a proposal by a Chinese firm to sell bulk Freon 22 for 55 cents per pound so it is available outside the US.
