Good Job! :msp_thumbup:

Very nice! And the HO must really appreciate what a nice neat job you did!

I have a rock bucket for my tractor. It makes cleanup a lot easier.

Was that a dead Live Oak Hal?

Isn't that an oxymoron?

You know? I was thinking that as I was typing, so I made sure to capitalize the L and the O and trusted Hal would know what I meant...

Yeah, I knew what you meant, even though they don't grow around here. If they do, I've never seen one.

Hey Hal, how would you rate Live Oak in burn time as compared to Mesquite?

Oak seems to be better for a fireplace. Have not burned too much Mesquite - don't find a lot around the area. Good dry oak burns hot and long. This tree was dead and dry. Should be able to burn this winter. Going to compare American Walnut aslo this winter.

Actually it is a white walnut. Also known as Butternut.

Gotcha... I've heard of Butternut before. Pretty fast burner. Should be good for shoulder season...
BTU's won't hold a candle to that Live Oak... That's good stuff.
