    Sure looks like it to me...best BTU's I've ever had in my stacks!
    Too bad I wasted half of it up the chimney in my old smoke dragon furnace back then...I would be really interested to see how my Kuuma runs on it now!

    I get mostly bitternut. Shag is well regarded. I find all Hickories to be 'pinchy' on the saws. Let us know how the new splitter likes it.

    There are a couple trees on my property that always make me do a double take when walking past them. I know they're red maple, but to me they look like shagbark hickory.
