Damn them are some nice rounds. What wood? How old? I know rounds take forever to dry, but i see no bark - I
m assuming at a minimum 5+ years old?
 
Wow don't see many people around here burning rounds like that! This year I may try it as I have a large amount of small doing fir rounds.

Some of those rounds could be 15 years old ,in my avatar my truck shown loaded with rounds was a 2003 Toyota new at the time,most rounds were cut about 5 to 7 years ago.Some trees were standing dead anyway it's old wood and hard as a rock,sparks fly when cutting. But boy does it produce heat,I only use it when it's bitter,my mainstay is red and white oak,shoulder season it's fir,cherry and ash.This is my second BK,and i love it ,huge firebox is a plus.Stay warm fellow burners.
