    Yup, no doubt BL based on leaves. I usually harvest down to 3" Never have cut trees that small though. My other thing is the bark is loose 90% of the time and gets messy.

    ~dusting some frass off this thread~

    We're back down to Cape Cod for a few days.

    Lo and behold, the few pieces of BL I left last year, are still here!

    I'll probably spend time with a hammer and screwdriver, popping off the loosened bark.

    Yuck! PI!!! I threw a piece in my firepit a couple years ago and ill never do it again. Oh and i meant the barkless rounds will weather nicely if left out for a while.

    Bark burns nice when dry. Wet off the log it’s almost fireproof.

    I will always think of this song every time I see this thread now.

    Some good stuff there. Brings back memories of a small local radio station that played thrash on Saturday nights. Mid 1980's. Id record songs on cassettes.
