Removed a few dead red oaks. More to be removed, may cut and split this winter. As long as it's not zero out with knee deep snow.View attachment 350497 View attachment 350498

My favorite wood.

 

[bradb123]

I was working on a pile of black locust with one of my 572s with 24" 404 set up . The second cut I rocked the chain . The area I cut in is full of rocks .

 

[bradb123]

I grabbed another 572xp and was able to get some black locust blocked up .

How about a truck load of apple?

I went out to block up the black locust logs that I rocked a chain yesterday morning . I just found these logs yesterday morning . They were probably left from the logging company in 2019 . The nice thing about black locust is its rott resistant . Laying on the ground for 3 years and no rott . The logs are hard as a rock .

Good for the smoker, not so much for firewood.

Always found it to be fine heating wood.

Fake news!
Apple is excellent firewood. I got started burning with what ended up being 16 cords for a $1 permit. And processed MUCH more than that for a few years. A lot of work for a little wood, maybe. No one ever called me the lazy type.

I'd cut apple trees that size all day, and put 90% of it on the firewood racks.

I stand corrected then, I figured it was like cherry. You only see fruit woods for sale here for stick burners, The price is typically double what traditional local hardwood by volume. I was burning soft maple yesterday, it was chilly in the morning but didn’t need a lot of heat all day.

Cherry is also excellent fire wood. Almost any fruit tree is In sure there is exceptions but as a rule fruit /berry trees are top shelf fire wood. Mulberry is another favorite of mine just takes forever and a day to dry out properly

Mulberry is one of my favorite firewoods. And watching it go from neon yellow to brown and finally a dark red almost brick colored gives me a pretty good idea how far along the seasoning process is.

Cherry is like soft maple, burns quick and doesn’t put out a lot of heat. It smells and looks good though. I have 4 sticks in my wood evaporator that is just a display setup now after installing my stove. Cherry makes great smoke on ribs.

I can put an end to that debate, it all burns. So, in the OWB it goes to heat our house and water.

Apple is way up on the BTU charts. Just a scosch below black locust!

@Wolverine Do you have a website link for the wood BTU list?
