Is this wood or trash?

[crater22]

Had a load dropped off yesterday and going thru it there are a few pc's like this. In case they don't show clearly they are bright yellow. This is the first pc I could get to that had some bark on it. Others are completely yellow.

Appreciate any help....Thanks

Possibly Mulberry or maaaybe hedge. Have not had either but going with Mulberry.

I was going to say Black Locust but I noticed the outter white ring. So maybe Mulberry? Never had any myself but it's certainly not junk.

I say hedge. Hedge burns hot!

Looks like the hedge I got last year. Take a couple pieces and throw it in the stove and see if you get fireworks. If so its hedge.

That is hedge bark on top of hedge wood. No doubt.

Definitely not trash. Inside looks like mulberry, but I've never had hedge.

Going by the grain, bark, moss and color, it's hedge. Hottest firewood there is. Most of my splits were a darker, vivid orange, but some pieces were yellow like yours.

I'm going with mulberry

Here is some mulberry. The bark looks totally different.

Just spoke with the supplier and it is Hedge. He warned me not to burn to much at one time

It's at the top of all the BTU charts - Nice score.

I felt I had to spell it out in no uncertain words. I guess I could have drawn a picture. LOL

 

[Osagebndr]

I like pictures and stories. Can someone tell us one , please...

Looks like my Mulberry that I'm hoping to burn next year. Like others, though, I've never had Hedge to compare it to.

Never met any wood species yet that I didn't like . . . it's all about using the right wood at the right time of year though. "Junk" wood is great for Fall and Spring . . . the "primo" wood is better for the middle of the winter.

That's a fine example of midwest osage orange, aka hedge. I only burn one split at a time mixed with other types, because it burns hot. You can let it sit in your wood pile for 50 years if you want. It's indestructible.

Hedge/Osage Orange.

We have fence posts over 100 years old that are hedge and harder than rocks.

Osage. Closest thing to coal that you are gonna get your hands on.

Pretty sure that's osage orange... got some in a delivered load years ago, the seller had mentioned there was some hedge in the load. The yellow color is a good tell.

Here's a story ~ we'd never had hedge to burn before. Put a split of it in the stove one evening, it really cranked out the heat. I got scared at first, thought we were gonna have a chimney fire, it burned that hot.

The seller told me he actualy cracked his old insert with this stuff. Then he showed me pictures of it that he took when he had it replaced. I'll try to get him to send me a copy and post it here. Now I am worried but I think if I only use one split, the Buck should handle it fine.
