My tree guy dropped off about four cords of sweetgum today and this stuff is a bi%$# to split! Thank goodness for the splitter! I processed about a cord and a half today and I will finish up the rest on Monday and Tuesday. He said he was taking out a big mulberry next week, my new favorite, and that should be another 1-2 cords. Each dump truck drop off cost me a case of beer....pretty good trade for both parties involved! From what I have read sweetgum is like silver maple in BTU and should be good mixing it in with the higher BTU stuff.
Any thoughts on the wood for burning for next season?...I split pretty small
He also has a few persimmon trees to take out next week and wanted to know if I wanted them, I said yes. I know they are good BTU but how are they for smoking? TIA
