Ahhh the smell!

My proctologist begs to differ!

 

Now I feel bad for this man!!

 

Yeah, getting a little suspicious myself as he has me come back monthly for a "checkup"

 

I got a little bit of cherry a few weeks back. All about 8" and under. I was surprised how stringy it was splitting by hand. I will take maple and oak any day over that stuff.

 

Practically dating!

 

It can be a pita to split espcially the bigger stuff.

 

He has good wood ?

 

Cherry is like that. Twisty and stringy or nice and straight. 50/50 chance IME. I scored some couple weeks back and most was twisty. Load i cut last week popped easily in half with the maul. Bigger rounds in both cases.

 

And this exam he performs with both hands on your shoulders ?

 

Even has a firewood reference! “Oak tree you’re in my way….”

 

I shouldve realized when i asked him where to put my pants and he says "over there on top of mine"

 

It's definitely hit or miss. Some pops apart easily like soft maple and then there's the ones that don't. Either way, you can't beat the smell in my opinion.

 

And another of theirs, "Simple Man", then comes to mind. What great Lynard Skynard music!
Oh, and Super score on the cherry, jrider...

 

Split about half the cherry rounds i had on hand. Back of my truck smelled nice. This was nice and easy splitting stuff. Primo straight grained destined for bundle wood. The lesser quality went into another cherry stack im filling. Third half cord to be filled and im guessing another cord or so scattered in random stacks.

 

Sell that Cherry at 20-25% MC as premium smoker wood. Way better $ in that.

 

You mean give some to his cutting buddy that just got a new smoker to test it out?

 

You got it.
