    Dont see the point of pictures, i just stated my opinion, i know the wood is mulberry, looks like the pictures others have posted and it has mulberries on it in the summer.
    What would be the point?

    What kind of phone do you have? I find it easier to post pics from my phone than from my laptop. (a little, not a lot) I'm sure we could walk you through it...:yes:

    I never knew that mulberry was good for smoking. I wish I could try that but our tree was planted, so I was told, by me about 50 years ago and I sprayed it with pesticides trying to save it. As for sparks, yeah it sparks pretty well. Opening the door to the stove caused a ejection that traveled in slow motion through the air burning a hole in my wife's new chair.

    I always like to add to my knowledge of wood. I only know the mulberry we have here and if there are some pics of other kinds I can file it away in the ol memory bank.

    Must be white MB? The grain and bark look a lot more "ash like" than our red MB does here...I'll get a pic when I go out in a while...

    Here's my red MB...this is the tree that I picked the berries from when I posted about making a cobbler with them some years back...gotta see if I can find that again.
    This is the twin leader tree that the north half came down on my processing area last June during a wind storm...talk about a volunteer! :rofl: :lol:
    I would have pulled a split out for a better grain pic, but these are buried on the bottom of the stack and none would budge.
    This stuff was bright yellow when I split it last summer.
