Sure sounds like a good dense wood to me.joefrompa said:Burned a few pieces yesterday. Didn't hiss or spit out moisture, which is good, but burned super slow. I.e. wasn't putting out alot of heat, caught slowly, and just overall burned really slow while not acting like wet wood either. Didn't smoke or anything, just slow to light off. LOT of coals.
But this was with a mini-fire in which I included 2 medium splits in the start and that's how they behaved. I'm gonna stick a few splits on a roaring hot 450-500 degree coal bed and see what happens.
