    it is burning good, every bit as good as cherry I would say. I have quite a bit to go through this year. I cut this stuff in 2020 and it was a big tree so lots of splits.

    The big rounds I had split just fine with my 22t splitter. I've heard it said on here more than once that it is a bear to split but that was not my experience. I also think the btu charts are a little low on the ratings.

    Are you a hand splitter or hydro? It is very stringy stuff based on the couple times I've had a few pieces.
    On my no take list.

    Now that I've been a hydro splitter for 3.5 year I may buck a round or two the next time I have access to some. I said the same of elm and the last two scores of it weren't that bad to split, but if I still hand split io would chance it. Im no Spring chicken anymore. :vulture:

    Hi. I see you are Blaze king fan. You have one in waiting I see from your signature. Are you swapping one out for the other or adding a stove to the house? Im thinking of going the blaze king route. Will start a thread at some point.

    IMG_9118.jpeg 39F with the wind blowing 13mph. Good night for the first burn of the season in the Kuuma VF 100. Just a few assorted pieces (ash, TOH, pine)to burn the dust off and test the system before loading it up for bed.
