Quick advice needed; Hackberry dry time?

Coming back from working on a Red Oak score, I saw some tree guys cutting down a couple. I'm going back to get some Silver Maple, which I know dries quickly, as soon as I unload the trailer. They were taking a lot of the Silver back to the shop to make mulch, but they let me have some. They are also cutting a Hackberry. Anyone know if that would dry as quickly as soft Maple? If so, I'll get some of that too. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I had a pretty full trailer with just the Silver, passed on the Hack. I've got quite a bit of dead Ash to get, and figured for about the same drying time as the Hack I'll get a little more BTU. There's quite a bit of Hack here, so I'll get to try it at some point.

For wood that burns as well as it does it will rot fairly quickly if left on the ground.

OK, I'll keep that in mind.
I know someone burned a bunch of Hack this winter...was that you, Ralphie?

Hackberry is just about like elm in all regards (drying, splitting, burning).

Seems I've heard some folks say two years on Elm?

Ash is still most common for me.

It's one of the most common here, too. I'm dreading the arrival of that nasty borer; It's going to change the woods, for sure.
