Be very careful not to stick your nose in a dirty cherry.
One bad cherry and you'll consider switching to gas.

Maybe we should start a list of wood we wish we couldn't smell... I'll add to Rob's mention of american elm:

cottonwood
box elder

I hear lots of talk about smells that conjure up "pleasant memories".
What about the smell from American Elm, and the nasty memories
that come to mind from splitting that

Sorry for raining on everybody's parade.......

Ahhhh the smell of fresh cut cherry.

Black Locus I think stinks... worse when burned in the stove though!

Elm is the worst for me.

Cottonwood, willow and popple are not the best smelling for sure.

I think the only solution is to plant a bunch of male Ginko biloba trees around the splitting area. They will keep you from sniffing the wood too much.
