As tough as this stuff is to split Mother Nature sure has her way with it. There are 4 hackberry trees on my property split like this down the middle. I skidded logs to the barn and I will get the rest by spring. Hackberry dont last long on the ground or out in the weather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
very nice!!!! now you don't have to pick which tree to take down. mother nature picked it for you. lol. don't be shy about the skidding pics. very nice score though!!! time to fire up that saw. (and take pictures)
It’s not the highest btu wood but it’s not bad. I haven’t burnt a lot of it but it makes heat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yep, you can't pass that up. Better BTU's than snowballs & right there. Having never burned it that I know of no clue on heat output. I thought it was in the Mulberry family? That's good burning wood.
Good to hear that. I need something to fill ash’s shoes. I have 1.5 cord css from last spring that’s testing around 20% moisture. I’m going to give it another year but I did burn some in a fire pit. I was impressed with the heat and coaling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Typical of a co dominant stem tree where one side blows apart and the other side remains standing. Its still firewood though!!!
I burn a lot of hackberry too. It makes decent heat, but it makes a lot of fluffy white ashes. Like others said it doesn't last long in the weather.
its technically in the elm family but its not considered an elm. sometimes it can be stringy sometimes not. its never as hard to split as elm. I'd say it splits easier than ash, usuallly. about like honey locust. IMHO.
I just looked it up and they say there are a very few in MI but we are on the northern fringe of it. I've never seen it in MI so quite naturally, I've never cut, split or burned it.
schlot cleaned up a huge Hack... he put up a thread some time ago. I think Horkn has spoken of the Hack as well? I’ve never messed with it.
