Yeah, I gotta get me some of that Beefwood to try...sounds like it would be great.
You'll also start to get a feel for the heft of a particular specie when it is wet as opposed to dry.When in doubt I'd get a moisture meter and learn how to listen to the wood to make sure it's suitable for the stove. Wet wood can make for a miserable season....I learned that the hard way.
I actually tore down one stack, stacked criss cross, to restack it regular to make room for more wood, but kind of regretting that as the criss-cross stacked really leaves things airy.
Then again, I have two more pickup trucks worth to find a "home" for in my wood lot. damn it's getting tight!
Get it split and bring it to our place. We have plenty of room.
