Mulberry Rocks!!!

Into the first 4-5 burns ever of mulberry in my stove. OMG.............this wood is great.............If it dried as fast as ash, it'd be the perfect firewood!!!!

Took 2 loads to figure out how to get it going quickly vs. the ash and box elder I've been burning. But now; 3 small splits are throwing heat for 4 hours for me.................it's not that cold here today, even though we had about 5 inches of snow yesterday.

Just saying!!

 

There's a reason it's my fav!

 

Get to burn my first whole stack of Mulberry next year. 3 yrs. old. I am really looking forward to that. It's about 2 cord.

 

I have enjoyed burning mulberry off and on over the years. Nice wood.

 

It grows all around me but none on my property. Between the dead ash on my land and the farm next door where I work, I don' scrounge any more so the chances of me getting a stack of mulberry is slim. maybe I'll drop by your and sit by the stove for a couple of hours.

 

Mulberry burns alright. It has way too many crotches and not enough straight runs to get to get too excited about cutting it, at least around here.

 

Had a guy that picks up my saw dust at the shop tell me he has a bunch of wood cut he just wants to get rid of, i told him I would take it. He said come out this weekend and talk all you want, he said most of it is Mulberry and didn't think it was very good for firewood.................lol !

 

I hear that all the time! It seems to stem from how hard it is to get lit (because of it's high btu and water content when fresh cut).

 

I'm in line for a mulberry tree from my co-worker's property this coming Spring. I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs... during the 2018-2019 burning season.

 

Here's my Mulberry stack for next year.

 

I've only seen one one Mulberry tree around here in my life. It was by my cousins house in Mass. in the 70's. So it is rare around these parts. Don't expect I'll ever get to burn any.

 

Gives off an excellent light show too lol. I remember the first time I burned some and I was not ready for all the sparks flying off it.
