    That is a mess. I would be very careful cleaning that up.

    Hoping not Elm. I would travel 40 miles
    One way for mullberry off the ground but not elm. :(. I need a score to help my itch.

    Not sure. Fingers crossed I am wrong about elm, but mulberry I seriously doubt. Mulberry is usually much browner.

    You might be right. I cannot see the leaves real well but they are small enough to be elm.

    Nooooo....I don’t think 40 miles one way with tree off the ground for Elm is worth a trip. Ugh.

    I have burned a lot elm this year so far and it does pretty well. You just have to get it split up. Ouch.

    Leaves look like holly. Not the leaves from the tree in question. I'm guessing mulberry from the yellow wood and the bark on the trunk.

    It looks like mulberry to me. The color, the sapwood, and the bark look right. Here is some I got last spring for comparison. IMG_20190513_17335.jpg IMG_20190513_42591 (1).jpg IMG_20190515_48687.jpg

    Hmm, was thinking the same. I’ve never hoarded elm so this looks like mullberry to me as well. Great BTUs! Although, I’m not needing as much this winter :(

    We’re you working the kinks out of your system? You could always hoard it for the next year or three.

    No, still haven’t fixed the problem but don’t need the OWB to run as hot this winter so it’s worked out great and saved me some repair $$$. I just haven’t needed to burn the high BTU stuff, although I have burned quite a bit of mullberry. Whooooooood!
