@Sawdust Man that post oak is supposed to be good for smoking.

I am a stick burner but have no firsthand experience with post oak.

I'm sure glad I spent 60 bucks per oil change for full synthetic compressor oil.

Is it really that bad for firewood?

It’s around middle of the road btu wise. I just dont want to/have the overwhelming desire to work it up.

I have a large pile of Honey Locust & Ash to work up, the walnut is an after thought.

So, are you saying you will heading this way to work it up & haul it off ?

Who knows, maybe.

We have had temps in the low 50’s here most of the week & allegedly thru Sunday with rain forecast. Let it rain before it gets cold enough to freeze.

We got a bit of rain overnight & its foggy now. Let it rain, it’s terribly dry here & the ground is unbelievable hard.

I'll second that thought and send some good will M's way.
Would really like to see him at his place in the spring, if he's open to that visitor routine for a day.

Good morning folks.
If I can get through the next several days of possible insanity moments, all will be worth the preparations.

Conditions here are very similar, but about 12degrees cooler. Haven't had more than a drizzle in about 5 weeks, so very dry as well.
The couple of times we got a inch or two of snow it was gone within a day or two.

Post oak is primo farwood.

We have lots of hickory so that's mostly what we use for smoke, but I need to experiment with different things.

The good thing about post oak is, it's horrible to mill and makes junk lumber.....so I never have to decide between sawlog and firewood....it's all firewood.
Also, whenever the trees aren't corkscrewed it splits better than anything else that grows here.
