Scored more locust!

[swagler85]

Went over to my parents for a bonfire tonight, noticed a locust that was split bad down the middle. This was split from where the trunks split at 6' down to the ground. First drop was easy, second was a little hairy. Should be about 2 cord or so. Glad I had my saw in the truck. Only had enough light to drop it. Will go bck later to buck it up.

Yes my lil brother there made the comment that now he'll have lots of bonfire wood. I just looked at him and said thats all going to my house. I'll bring you all the maple you want to replace it.

I have found that lesser trees make better campfire/bonfires anyhow. Everybody wants to see the flame, hear the crackle, feed the fire, etc. The harder woods make heat, not purdy fires.

Agreed . . . heck, sometimes I'll put some white pine, eastern white cedar or poplar in my woodstove just fot the snap, crackling and pops . . . I am easily amused.

Not the good wood for bonfires
Just the small limbs!

I have found that BL stinks for bonfires cuz it burns too long. You don't get the fun of reloading the fire all night.

Swags if you use that locust for bonfires, I'm coming out there and kicking your ass!!
Seriously, great score. And a big +1 on switching the locust and maple....not to mention that locust will stink and who wants to cook hotdogs on a stinky fire?
