    Hmmm, sure that's BL? Some of it looks like American elm to me, well the first few rounds in front to the left. But then again there no split pics of the grain.

    Now the ones in back with the big furrows is Locust for sure.

    If the rounds are all from the same tree, then it's all BL.

    If that's all from the same tree then there is 0 chance it is anything other than BL. None. Trust me on this one. I burn that stuff like it is going out of style.

    I think locust too, love burning that stuff. I've got a lot of it to burn this year too. Takes a little to get it going but it burns very hot and will hold a fire for a long time.

    Roger that.....my old smoke dragon was on heavy locust diet. Hauled home a bunch last year to feed the Buck in a few years. Here's one of many loads I hauled in.

    That's exactly what a split looks like. There was one piece that was split.
