    +1 ash. It seasons quickly and makes very good firewood. Take all you can!

    Thanks all for the warm welcome! Been busy splitting and stacking the new honey locust and mulberry. I’ll post a picture when I’m done. I had to move around two older stacks to make room. Are these both ash as well?

    JACKPOT! :banana: :rootintootin: :dancer: That my good hoarding friend is black locust! One of the highest btu woods you can get. I get giddy every time i see it. Sorry i have locust mania. :loco: :crazy:

    Its virtually rot proof too. Leave it out until the bark falls off then process. The bark stinks when burned.
