Battle of the firewoods-Shagbark Hickory vs Black Locust

Was just goofing buzz.
As i wouldnt even look twice at that thing taking down all the hydro and probably a house.

 

How about cottonwood vs aspen

 

For all you locust lusters. Picked this up for a little more than a case of good beer.
Pushing 3/4 of a cord on the 150.

 

Didn't know that!!

 

That’s a biggin’!!

I’ve burned lots of SBH and a little BL. They are very close for me but due to it’s availability, I voted shaggy.

 

Ok...define good beer

 

$50 a case. NOT light beer from the Rockies.

 

Ill give ya two cases for it! Not the $50 a case though...im cheap!
Gorgeous load of splits. Nice truck too!

 

I see it's a popularity contest.

If you've burned both, you'll know the truth.

 

BL got my vote. Don't have any shagbark or burned any, but have lots of BL in stacks and in the woods.

 

Well now I must hear what it is

 

Let’s remember to remain friends after this spirited debate.

 

Living in bbq country I’ve always wondered how there are enough hickories to provide smoke to them all and who is it that has the contract to drop off the wood and who’s land are they poaching hickory from?
Shagbark and Pignut are slow growing. Mockernut is a bit faster growing, but pignut is more common. Maybe the bbq wood poachers have cut down all the shagbark, because I see them less than mockernut.

 

I have the exact same thoughts. There is a 180 acre piece of undeveloped land next to me, hasn’t been logged in 50 years and even then was very selective. Pretty sure the hickories are poached regularly. I hear saws running sometimes that seem to be in the middle of that tract.

 

Used to love that one

 

Its still anyone's game. If you want to see Shagbark Hickory in the finals make sure to cast your vote before tomorrow morning.

 

We have a second firewood advancing to the next round. Congratulations Black Locust on a tough fought battle!!!
