Now that is a good buddy. Mulberry is a great wood, love the blue flames it puts off the heat is pretty nice as well.

Nice score. Maybe you can get him to let you buck it next time so you get it consistently to your stove length.

That's a great point that you bring up.. I told him that I would buck it, but he insisted. So now I have some mixed matched sizes and pieces. Oh well it was free and like heavy hammer said great wood so I am not complaining

It might not be to the lengths you want but it's free and he is bringing it to you still a win in my book. Plus it gives you a reason to use the saw, still sounds pretty good to me.

I would NEVER turn down mulberry! Unless it was cut into 1" blocks.....LOL......Even then I would find a way to burn it.

Mulberry is great wood. I burn a lot. My wife doesn't like to mess with it though because it pops when you open the doors.

I have been told that mulberry is in the same family as locust and hedge. I think that is why it pops when burning. I know after a few years of seasoning it hardens up real nice. Two years ago I got ahold of some from these tree guys, they cut them into weird like blocks 8 by 10 inch pieces odd to stack. But great all night burners they are difficult to split or cut smaller but burn real nice. Changed my thoughts on mulberry.

Up until I joined the Hearth I thought mulberry was garbage and no good, but this has changed my mind. Glad it did because I am able to get my hands on all kinds it seems lately..

Real nice score! I'm burning some mulberry tonight and it might be too warm.

I thought the same the46zone, mulberry was always considered junk in my book. I was wrong it's amazing the little things you learn.
