I split by machine, think after reading about elm, I'm glad I only cut one down.
I will let season for two yrs...
That seams to be the ticket...

when dry it burns down to powder for ash's.

 

[Hunt4lumber]

That's ok, for future I'll pass on those trees.
I will mix it in with cherry, oak, maple a couple years from now in my outdoor boiler and it will burn!!!

If it's dry it gives little heat. It also dries too dead to really amount to a hill of beans. I tho k I would burn it in about a year, depending on how well it dries.

 

[Hunt4lumber]

Oh, and alot of ash...Got it before it was standing dead somehow...
EAB's had just started into bark, all still solid wood

Agree on Elm. To be sure if it's Elm, try splitting it. If you find yourself exhausted without anything split into two pieces...it's elm.

I clicked on the title and knew it would be Elm before I even saw the pics lol.

Elm makes fantastic firewood in my opinion. Either split it with a splitter or leave it lay in the elements for two years before you pull out the maul.

Probably American, could be Slippery I suppose. Just noodle it with your saw. I like Elm.

I probably wouldn't have dropped it if another tree didn't get hung up in it...

Will those bigger rounds fit through your boiler door? If so don't even bother splitting them. Just get them stacked off the ground, top covered.

 

[Hunt4lumber]

Yea, would probably just fit

Then you are all set. Worst case you need to halve those biggest pieces and you can noodle them.
