No, it is more of a sweet smell, and the straight splits are so easy to split......

Silver Maple will do in a pinch. It's dry in a summer, It's abundant. It's fairly easy to process. I think Ash is easier to process and a much better wood, so I always go for that first when given the choice, but free maple is always good. I have cords of it in my back yard. And there will be a few more cords by the end of the winter.
Here is my update.....we got some silver maple split up,a little more to go.....
Thanks all......
