Anyone experienced hard, calcified ash chunks when cleaning out their wood stove/furnace?
I normally burn Ash, Hackberry and a little Burr Oak but I recently came into what I think is Red Elm that was dead and had just fallen over. It was dry (19%) so I’ve been burning it. I normally get the usual fine powder ash but with this Red Elm I get these hard nuggets that remind me of coral. Is this a tree species thing? Something about the tree standing dead for years?
