Which I would say makes it hard to split - if you have to do that.

IF it lands in your lap, it's free heat (less the work and resources required to make it into firewood).
If a cat throws up in your lap, you get rid of it quick. That's how I deal with sycamore, too.
because the wood was free and all wood burns some better than others
Yes, Yes I'm sure it does but it has been a bit hard to find lately, Wally World has been out for quite awhile now.
Any suggestions on a good source

If it wasn't for the potential prison time, I,m sure that I could find some Interesting and Entertaining uses for it, but I don't have an immediate Need/Use right now.
After my little High School Prank, I sure DON'T need to get caught with anything like C-4, Thank Gawd I was still 17, and it was 1983, I have no doubt that those "EXPUNGED" records could still be Found/Opened for the right reasons.
Let's just say that it involved 4 Highway flares, a folding travel clock, a couple "C" cell batteries and some wire for appearances and some duct tape and the bottom side of a Favorite teachers desk with the alarm clock set to ring while a Friend was in the class. 2 periods before Tony was to be in Mr Quimby's class, Mr Baker had the room, and someone saw it, and things went "South" very quickly
After we came forward and explained what was going on, we got a week suspension, but Mr Quimby who had an Excellent sense of humor, and was known to play pranks on students, was disappointed at how things worked out, and gave me what would become my CB Handle for many years, every time he would see me in the hall, He would say "Hey Dynamite, how's it goin?", He was a Great Teacher, and no Ill will was intended and he knew that. Mr Baker was much less forgiving.
That same Prank TODAY, would I'm sure get even a 17 year old a free stay at the Gray Bar Inn, and I have no doubt that it would have precluded me from getting a CCW, if it had happened post 9/11.

Yeah, no sense of humor today. My buddy used to live across from the National Guard Tank Training facility. Not going to tell you what state. He and his best 12 year old buddy wiggled under the fence to climb on the tanks, like they often did. This time someone left the hatch open. They climbed in and were having the time of a couple of 12 year old guys lives. Then, one of them found a dummy hand grenade. They did eany meany miney mo to see who got to pull the pin and toss it out the tank. My friend lost, the other kid pulled the pin and chucked it out. After it went bang, they decided ohoh, we screwed up. So they high tailed it home and hid out. No cops or MP's showed up. But, they love to tell that story still.If it wasn't for the potential prison time, I,m sure that I could find some Interesting and Entertaining uses

Sounds like that WASN'T a DUMMY Grenade
was there any additional effort involved in the laundry, after the BANG?
Doug
I started to say blank. It was the kind that went bang, but no shrapnel. The guy that ran the gas station we dealt at, son, was in the Guard, and he stole one of the blanks. Some how it went off in his PU, put him in the hospital, and burned his truck to the ground. It went bang +.Sounds like that WASN'T a DUMMY Grenade

Doug
Yep, even a "Practice" Grenade is Dangerous, may not have the thicker walls and "Waffeling" to Improve fragmentation, but still no joke about them, and Definitely not toys.
I bet among other things his hearing was never the same.
Doug
In a confined space like a pickup cab, he was Lucky that ride was in an Ambulance, and NOT a Hearse.
Even the "Flash/Bangs" used by Law Enforcement can/have caused Injuries and have burned buildings down.

The thread has been hijacked, but I really like where it's going!!
We weren't smart enough for some of those awesome pranks, but we did manage to nearly burn down the neighborhood with illegal fireworks. There's a good reason that Montana outlaws projectile/exploding fireworks.
Just for the record, I wasn't there at the time. It was my younger brother, and I was sorry not to be there for all the fun. Then dad confiscated EVERYONE's fireworks (illegal and legal) and took them to a nearby dumpster.
My older brother snuck out that night and got them back - all for himself, of course. Didn't even tell us what he did. He was a pain in the butt as an older brother.

The blank grenades we had back when I was in were no more than a big firecracker in a dummy shell. It would be stupid loud in a confined space like a truck cab, but wouldn't put anyone in the hospital. Now artillery simulators are a completely different subject. LOL
