    I have some for 2016-17 but I still need more so this downed Hemlock (if it's good) should take care of what we need.

    Looks good from the picture; of course the saw will tell you soon enough. I've found some really good wood that looked like it was not worth bothering with.

    Give it a slice, but I bet it is good.

    Hemlock would be a good choice Zap..

    Hard for me to imagine your short of any type of wood for any season though! :)

    Zap, does Hemlock have bark similar to Cedar?

    I'm not sure, we have a few Cedar on our property but I never payed any attention to the bark.

    We burn what comes down, so some years for shoulder season wood it's white pine but most years it's a combo of the two.
