What a monster locust. We don't have any locust that big around here. Any locust left near here is dead standing, a blight killed them all 20 years ago.

Reminds me of an old scrounge when I began by free wood journey. Yes I was able to split-it with my SuperSplitter.

Wow,now that's a round!What winch ? did you use?

What winch ? did you use?

I tend to be a minimalist. No winch-- round was set on planks then steel pipes placed under as rollers / red rope to assist. The fun part was splitting it with my electric Super-Splitter. Lucky for me I have a raised staging area so the round could be rolled on to the table which is at ground level. Like I said, I was a newby when I found this so called free firewood. Lesson learned

I have dealt with some pretty big stuff. Dont let it scare you. Just dig in and get it done.

Would love to try some locust in the stove sometime but it’s not a species that grows up here in NW Wisconsin. I see it’s the top dog on the firewood BTU charts by far. The best woods we can get around here are red oak, birch and some ironwood.

Iron wood is darn near the same as locust for burn characteristics.
