    Coffee tree is basically a locust and should stomp pine too.

    Black locust is a 1.

    They didn't receive the votes in the polls, seems like no one respects the dog wood.

    Everyone was gripping about silver maple being over rated as a 3 seed, but their 11-0 victory might quiet the critics. Did better than Iowa State and Baylor.

    Poll comes down each night so I can update bracket before bed. Goes back up in morning with that day's matchups.

    LOL! Silver maple is what I'm burning tonight. This stuff isn't a 3. It's a shoulder season at best, but she does season quickly. :yes:

    I missed Madrone being in there initially. Good choice. Live oak should be in there, but I've never heard of anyone actually burning it. More of a tree that is admired and left to live for 1,000 years.

    I love this thread. I guarantee we are the only forum that would take our passion over the top in this way. LOL!

    I really want to see red oak win it all. She's a bit of an underdog, but I think everyone on here loves red oak.
