    That is a big one for sure. Lots of BTU's to be yielded.

    Nice tree. Hope the trunk is solid, looks like it had root rot, as long as it's not over 40" dia, you can cut it, it will be slow going, but that's ok. You can also put some big limbs under it, then cut root ball off first, use wedge to keep cut open it the top.

    From what we have seen it looks like black wood ants have gotten ahold of it pretty fierce. Still alot of good wood but have had to trim a little bit off the center. 100 mph winds dont help either.
