    Yep, there's a real good chance it is the Cucumber Tree. I have a couple in my wood pile as well as silver maple.

    That reminds me, I need to go back and do a clean sweep. I see the stumps are full of sprouts.

    Well, I have been known to lick some cucumbers (at least that's what they kind of looked like), but not a cucumber tree. See, A cucumber tree is classified as a SOFT hardwood and though it is capable of putting out around 15 to 16,000 mbtu's per cord, it's not really a good HARD wood!:startled: AND, I have been known to lick lots of hard wood :emb: s!
