I scored about 3/4 of a cord of green English walnut free on CL. Pretty large rounds and took awhile to cut it all. It's pretty wet, and heavy. Many of these larger chunks have multiple knots and branches coming out, so my little 5 ton electric won't split them. I've been throwing them to the side until I can rent a larger splitter. The straight pieces without the knots/branches/crotches will split, but it's about all that 5 tonner can handle. I couldn't imagine even trying to split those tough pieces with an axe. I'd like to see someone try though, lol.
Anyways, is this decent btu wood when dry? About how long does this take to dry out when split? I can't find anything on English walnut specifically, just walnut.
