    No I have white and red oak, little bit of shagbark hickory, locust, lot of sugar maple, red maple, white birch, cherry, and a lot of bitternut hickory from my own stand, don't know where it came from or how it came to grow here, It is not common around here and I've never seen it anywhere else, but I love it!! Burns real hot

    Right now I'm probably at 50% hedge, 25% black locust, and the rest in hickory, cherry, oak, walnut, and a tiny bit of maple.

    Ive often thought thats why we have so many blaze king owners here. Most of our forest is lodgepole pine.

    Those hounds must wonder what in heck you are doing when you stuff them into the woodshed! They are very patient with you.

    From most to least I have larch, fir, lodgepole pine, birch, apple and one split of aspen. I may have more lodgepole than fir soon if I get off my butt and go get that big beetle kill lodgepole that fell over a few days ago.

    Red and white oak, black locust, honeylocust, white ash, mulberry, Norway maple, Japanese maple, a couple varieties of cherry, and Bradford pear. I think that's about all of it.

    How do you like the pear? We have a few in yards here and Ive wondered how it would burn. Dont know why anyone would grow them here as it appears to cold for them. Only ever seen them with small hard fruit.

    They were squirrel hunting, they climbed in there themselves, I just made them stop so I could get an unblurry pic. Oliver! nearly ripped a toenail completely off last week, pretty sure this is where he did it.

    I would never force a dog into a place they weren't willing to be in.

    I haven't had it long enough to burn any yet, but I'm sure it'll be very nice in the stove. It isn't much fun to split, though. Small, hard fruit is normal for Callery/Bradford pears; they're an ornamental, not meant for fruit production.

    Thats what they say. Have a lot of them out in the western states also where pine is all thats available. I sure have passed a lot of easy pickens pine up getting to the harder woods. Going to give some a try here next winter.
