I believe the Non-Burner's (SMH) think we are all nuts for many reasons, not just our habit of posting pics of our "uglies":eek:

My neighbors think the amount of time I spend playing with my wood is absurd. Oh well, I've had plenty of more destructive hobbies/habits in my life. This seems pretty tame to me.

Jeeze, so much innuendo.

I had to laugh reading this because anytime we have a yard sale, all of the guys stare in awe at my woodstacks while the ladies peruse through the sale items........my stack has become a local landmark.......for the guys, anyway!

Elm. The nastiest elm tree I have ever split. Thanks for the kind words on the splitter. Its a Jags custom.

Jags, I wondered when you would post that pic. :) That picture sums up my one time run in with Elm. I pass on it now. Not worth my time when Ash & Locust are so readily available.

I suspect that some of the long timers are getting tired of it.;) I whip it out on request. (more innuendo?)

Had some white oak a couple weeks ago that looked pretty close CMAG's post above. Made them into stove chow, but should take some pics. Fugly. Nice thing about my splitter...if it don't split it, it will cut it. If it doesn't cut it, it will CRUSH it.::-)

Elm, live and learn. A friend told me it was maple and should split easy..

I hand split Maple all day! 2/3's of my wood piles, (plural) is/are maple, Lots of it down here;).... CMAG, where you are, you may be getting gum like I get, "TRUST ME" sandy soil gum split's like Jags picture. You friend is right , maple will split easy, but not gum or elm!!!
 
Dave USCG, I live on long Island, that load of wood came from the south shore about 1/2 mile from the water so I would say sandy soil (and was thanks to Sandy)
Anyway free and it burns, most of my stacks are red oak and need to season a few more years.
Thanks for the info.
