Box elder.
Yup... definitely boxelder+1
Opposite branching, so box elder is a good bet.
The stuff I had reeked until the bark was burned up. The clean wood wasn't as bad. If there is any moisture it it, same deal.. Stinks like hell.
No sure why you included cottonwood on that list, but that's just MHO. It's the best campfire wood that I can wrap. Nobody complains -- easy to carry, easy to light, and makes good flames. But, if I include box elder in a bundle, customers all sneer at me. Many cook with their firewood.Like Wood Doctor, I don't want any box elder in my woodpile. Only 3 deciduous species I can think of offhand that I will not touch: box elder, cottonwood, and tree of heaven.
