    I got a couple standing dead apple trees, of which most will go in the stack. The rest will go in the smoker stack.

    Steve, do you happen to have any pics of that before it got cut?
    I have what some here have said is Hawthorne. One tree, and it's very small.

    Ailanthus, was about 14" DBH. Absolute crap, but now it's been bucked and can't spew more seed. I'll enjoy torturing them in the stove. :saw:

    Since new neighbor bordering me had his lot surveyed, it turns out that two more similar ailanthus are on my side. Just gotta clear out some more weed trees where they will fall, then they are history. Most vile invasive weed going. :axe: Then glyphosphate on stumps.

    Sorry Dave, I don't. They don't get very big. The wood seems to be, my guess, a medium BTU wood. We will see in a couple of years.:fire:

    From most to least--ash, hickory, black locust, honey locust, osage orange, black walnut, cottonwood(uggghh), hack berry, black cherry, and some small peach.

    I don't have any oak this year, seems the standing dead ash is all over and easy to get.

    My buddy keeps the cotton wood and sycamore for his OWB.

    Need to get some eastern red cedar to start the fires with next.
