    This will make lots of bbq.
    This old yard Hickory will probably be tough to split but will fill up some racks. :thumbs:

    That looks like a building you don't want wearing a tree. Good luck!

    I get a decent amount. Another big one was removed from this place last year and another guy took it. I think the splitting difficulty broke him of his desire for more. Occasional sales for smoking wood.

    That roof looks very expensive as well.

    Being a trades person I was admiring it too. I used to fix slate roofs years back. Trade all in itself.

    Hickory is 100% worth the stringy hassle IMO. :saw: :axe::stacker:

    I adore hickory; great firewood for warmth and for smoking meat. I don't get a ton of it but treasure what I do get, usually mockernut and pignut hickory (which looks like what that one is). Nice score. Very high in BTUs as well, I think 27m-28m BTUs per cord, more than most oaks.

    It's true, size matters!

    Plan to burn some this season. What little I have will be prime after 4 years in the stacks.
