    CE8FCDCC-3E07-40A3-9992-CBDF023495F6.jpeg I have never seen a mulberry even close to this big before. I couldn’t get to the butt end because it was dumped right up against other logs

    How big is it? :BrianK: .... They can get fairly big, I know. But usually at that point they get sprawled out quite a bit...

    Man I can almost imagine how much purple bird chit comes out of a Mulberry that size. Bigger than any I've cut here.

    That is big. Gonna kick out lots of yellow man glitter thats for sure. Mulberry is a rare tree based on observations in my travels. I know of one huge one in a yard. Good size but couldnt venture a guess of DBH. Did you get the rest of the wood from the tree of just the trunk Joe?

    Good stuff. I know it ranks pretty high on the BTU charts but I gotta say I didn't totally love the stuff I burned this season. Seemed like it took a bit to get going and didn't last as long overnight as I woulda thought. I know I know I'm just being picky here. But I will say it's pretty dang good to use on the smoker as well. I still say "get as much as you can" !!!
