[QUOTE="Larry Ashcraft, post: 1430789, member: 34867"] We burn cottonwood because that's what we have. Hardwood is rare in the southwest, except for Siberian Elm. We use about three cords a year in our stove. I save my elm or ash for really cold days or for "all-nighters". Cottonwood splits easily if it is good and dry. If it is wet at all, it will string. If I find a little dampness in a log I cut, I'll let it sit for a couple of months. I've never noticed a bad smell from cottonwood, but I have from elm. We lost about 100 trees to the 2002-03 drought, and I've cut about six cords this winter just trying to clean up the wind-blown ones. [/QUOTE]
