Any thoughts as to what type of wood I have here? I live in Southwest Ohio. I guess I really never paid attention to the different types of bark on the different trees until I started burning. Thanks in advance for your input.
ID is easy on that, with those great pics...
Find some dead stuff, standing or lying on the ground, with no bark, and you might be able to burn it this Winter...
I agree with blujacket, split/stacked black locust should be ready to burn after one year. BL is one of the fastest drying woods- I have cut some standing dead locusts (that had been dead for some time, with the bark already falling off) that were ready to burn in about six months.
