I'm thinking slippery elm. The bark on one of the pieces looks like what I have cut before. It's a common fencerow tree in my part of Ohio.

I have a Speeco 5 ton electric one. It does ok on straight pieces, 8-12" max. It really struggles on much bigger than that, or twisted or stingy stuff. And, it IS slow. I use it for splitting down pieces for use in a small fire pit and for kindling.

Hemlock

Interesting! I've always used Stihl chain, but maybe I'll try some Oregon next time!

The one branch at the back of the trailer says HL to me too. Bark is right too.

+1 on the Black Cherry. Cherry bark all the way!

Now I know what I'll get for lunch today!

I'll say some type of elm.

I think I see some D shaped holes... If so, that's an ash that has died of the EAB. Typical of ash to rot at the base and fall over just like that.

The slip on wedge for my 22 ton in my sig is worthless too...

Yes, burning as much of the wood to ash each time is definitely a way to keep the coals in check. I used to have a few more saws(ok, maybe a LOT more ;)), but have whittled it down to these. For what I scrounge, these two saws, in these sizes, is what works for me. I keep other bars and chains...

Sounds like the wood you are burning is fine. Single digit humidity is an unknown in my area! And, as you can read about all over the place on here, there is no problem burning pine, as long as it's seasoned. Same as any other wood. Many people burn nothing but softwoods(pine, spruce, hemlock...

Add some pine or other softwood, if you have it, when you get a lot of those coals. Burn the coal up as the softwoods keep the temperature in the stove up. The woods you are burning are known for their coaling properties because they are so dense. BTY, I think I would call what you are seeing...

Exactly. That was the point I was trying to make. The camera has to have enough Radio Frequency signal(RF) from the wifi router to work. The steel siding of the shop is probably stopping the signal from reaching the camera. The laptop probably has a better RF receiver and transmitter than the...

That's a big part of the problem... Your laptop probably has a better transmitter and receiver than the Blink. I have steel siding on my house, and I have a terrible time getting any wifi signal out to my garage, 200 feet away. I have a Linksys router inside the house. I also have steel mesh...

That's what commercial deer repellent is made from. I was working for a company that developed that commercially about 40 years ago. Look at the ingredients for any of the commercial deer repellents, and it will say something about putrefied eggs. And, yes, it does work well!

I'm sure your local game warden would like to hear about the poaching.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is....

Check the cones. Loblolly has a longer cone than red does. My 1st thought by looking at the bark was leaning to red pine, but even then, the plates on the bark are a little large for red. The cone is what pointed me to loblolly.

Loblolly Pine. Looks right to me. Cone looks right, as do the needles. Bark looks ok too. Ponderosa Pine bark, mentioned above, is much more orange.
