I have close to 2 cord of cotton wood left to start the season off. I will burn it till its gone.
It fell last year in November. Maybe same btu as pine but pine is a much more friendly wood.
Seems like just high humidity keeps cotton wood wet. Cotton wood is a weird wood.

But I have it and I will suck all the heat I can from it ...split it and get it dry and try to keep water from it. JMO

I didnt spoil you enough with the cracking of black locus and hickory? ;-) I would rather pick up wet crap bare handed...lol

I have some nice rows of BL and Hickory. just saving it for the really cold stuff.
I sure love smelling that hickory on these hot summer evenings. I cut up a some good chunks of it and have been grilling with it.
Starting to get the hang of this.
