There may be a little more over there but I haven't made it back yet; Got most of the grounders last time. I know there's a big one down but it's not that dry. Just talked to a neighbor and he's got several that he wants taken out. The bark is falling off some of those. None on the property, but there's enough close by to keep some in the stacks. I don't have anyone bringing it to me, though. In case I forgot to mention it....Awesome loads! 
No bark whatsoever and totally dry.. Unreal and heavy as hellI guess you really wouldn't even have to stack it.
I've gotten some down BL that was that dry. Rings like a bell.
I believe I have one more locust load just like this one coming.. Might be here by the weekend we will see..
When it's dry, yet heavy, you know you've got something good. Added plus...the stinky bark is gone, if it's BL.No bark whatsoever and totally dry.. Unreal and heavy as hell
I think it's black locust with very tight growth rings. The wood is mostly pale yellow a little of it is a light brown. I have burned BL before but never with no bark.. Well worth $185.00 I think.. Have some real decent wood beside that too..When it's dry, yet heavy, you know you've got something good. Added plus...the stinky bark is gone, if it's BL.
So is that BL or HL? It sure looks like the old BL I've found. The yellow color of the wood fades. Some small ones I've gotten, the wood was getting brown. Have you burned BL before?
I pay $185.00 a cord here and that's a good price here.. I tend to get more than I pay for with this firewood guy.. That stack is 6-1/2'- 7' high.. Will probably lower that if I have extra room as it tends to get unstable above 5'..So how much total are you getting for $185, like 1.5 cords? For dry, primo wood, I'd consider that a good deal here, undoubtedly better in MA.
Damn, son, how high is that stack in the background?
The wood in the stack is mostly red oak and the rest is cherry.. I did that stuff over the winter.. Have another uprooted cherry to cut up near my field but been too busy stacking etc.
A guy could have those two, and have it pretty much covered. I know you've got enough dry, now the BL too, to let that Oak sit.
Had to get long, hot burns over there whereas I could feed my stove more often if needed, and used Cherry, Red Maple, Red Elm, Ash.
It is very old and the outer part of the wood has a black color.. This tree was enormous and has been down for many years.. Locust does not rot like many other woods and it's why pier pilings are made from it..
Think we'd have a good contest and this locust would kill Tony lol.. I think you'd have to drill holes into this locust to get the probes into it! It's wicked hard dense stuff!Nice going Ray! Perhaps we need to get together with someone who has a MM and see who has the dries wood?!
