You snorting the foam off the Moose Pis again:hmm3grin2orange:

I used to urban scrounge Christmas trees for firewood, they all burn..hot.

Easy curbside pickins as well....

Maybe we could ship him some CARE packages of shagbark, sugar maple, black locust, oak? Pretty provincial out there in B.C.? :cool2:

That'd pop his bubble. Doug-fir much better as tubafores, etc. :notrolls2:

 

[RandyMac]

Old Growth DF snags make great firewood.

 

[Cedarkerf]

I'm south of you down here in warshington but think you've been smokin too much fir. I'll settle for Madrone

 

[Patrick62]

it's pretty good

You like the sparks?
You like the splinters?
Other than that it is a fine wood.

 

[WidowMaker]

Actually I burn 3 to 5 cords a year, in addition to Tammerack and Lodge Pole, there all great firewood...

 

[greendohn]

Never tried any.
I guess it'd burn better than snowballs ? :msp_unsure:

 

[flashhole]

I saw a burn chart on the internet so it must be true ... it listed Douglas Fir just below dried buffalo chips on the quality scale. :biggrin:

 

[RandyMac]

Lmao!!!

 

[turnkey4099]

DF the best? NO WAY! Willow is the best ever. You need so blasted much of it that you never need an excuse to get behind a saw, splitter, mauls, splitting, stacking, etc.

And the winner is ?

Out here in Mt. we have alot of Douglas Fir that is prime for fire wood thanks to the spruce bud worm. It burns good. But my personal favorite is to mix in equal{or close}amounts of doug.,larch{tamarack}and lodge pole. Got about a cord of birch that's curing. Will try it this fall, birch is great for bbq smoke wood also.

Almond. It's the only firewood I'll travel for.

Anything else I can get the crew to roadside for me to pick up on the way home.

Gologit-I have heard that Almond is alot like pecan. Do you know if that is true. I got Black Bear sirloin roast and Mule deer Tenderloin on the Out door fire place smokin' over a bed of alder and apple(seasoned) all cut off our place, right now as i am typing. Should be ready to eat @7:30 or so. Any how back to fire wood.

I don't know, Dooby. I never burned any pecan. Almond is great firewood but a PITA to cut...everything is small. I don't know if people cook with it or not.

 

[dooby]

just pulled the meat off. It marinaded for 4-hrs,then slow cooked out on an open grill old school w/homemade charcoal and and my own wood. How rewarding. As soon as it gets done resting we are gonna tear into it. Cant wait. Almond sounds like it might be good wood to smoke w/. I think i jacked this thread sorry. :biggrin:

 

[WidowMaker]

Don'tknow where I got it, but I been under the impression that bear meat wasn't fix to eat...
