Yup. makes good coals and furniture. Only medium heat IMO but lasts and lasts.smokinjay said:Looks like walnut.
firefighterjake said:Looks like it . . . the caveat being I am better at IDing trees with leaves vs. bark . . . the one thing against this possibly not being elm is that it looks pretty cleanly split for elm that still has its bark on it.

Jake, in this case one only has to look at the color of that beautiful wood.

That was my first thought, a nice little three legged stool to place in front of the stove when I'm loading.
There are some big rounds there and the trunk that must be seven feet long by thirty inches or better wide. But I don't have the means to move it.

Also, look at the twigs from the tree, and the leaves on the ground from where you got the tree. Walnut has compound leaves, while Red elm has simple leaves. That's easiest way to tell.
