    Dropped a small dying pin oak in the backyard. I hit it with the bucket pretty good years ago and it's slowly started falling apart. Gonna build a new shed in the spot now.Oh well, it'll keep us warm in the near future

    It will burn nicely. Some really hate this stuff as the odor is a bit on the strong side. I don't mind it at all.

    Well stuff happens by accidently hitting the tree but what the heck let it not go to waste. Should make for some good heat.

    Personally it smells like :fart:.........and :makeitrain" cheese. But here in WA, some dead on its roots Madrona smells like some cultured toe jam. It doesn't smell like that when its fresh though.
