Yesterday I got some log, the guy tall me this tree shred bark few time a year.

Me thinks Sycamore by the bark. I have some I haven't split yet and truthfully I can't remember what the cut end looks like, it's buried in the "to be split soon" pile

 

[Sushiyummy]

Thanks D8Chumley, is it have a good BTU? take long to season?

 

[Firefighter938]

Sycamore. Burns okay. Lots of water when fresh cut so two yrs to season. Mid to low BTUs, but I burn a lot of it.

Nice conversation, but I'm in position of no choice. I have to take what ever is available for free.

Its 17.9 MBTU/ cord
Same as Elm and Black Ash, always good to have a mix.
You have some nice solid chunks of medium heat wood. Free makes it a sweet deal. Doesnt look punky or buggy.

It burns but is not fun to split! Burning some now mixed with maple, White Ash and hedge.

 

[Sushiyummy]

Than you all, very good to know.

Definitely Sycamore. I have tons of them on my property. Mainly grow along creeks and rivers but do well away from water too. I believe they are also in the maple family.

I have a 5500 and it will keep everything warm. It isn't very picky on what type of wood it eats either. Using pellet stoves this year though for a break from the wood.

 

[burrman]

No its not picky at all fill it up at night and in the morning and maybe a few peices when i get home from work just to get by..., I heat my house and my 28 x 40 pole barn...its nice having a warm wood shop to come home to

Split that into big blocks, and you'll get some fair burn times.
Also good for quick hot burns between full loads.

Good suggestions.
