I burned a small rick of Red ElmI had from 2 years ago at the beginning of this season. Very good wood. Burns hot, last long. Does leave a lot of ashes.
I and a friend both harvested Elm trees then. Due to the monstrous amount of brush one of those produces, the long curing peirod and they real nasty splitting problem (strings worse than any other owod I ever worked) we both swore we will never cut another one.
Now if someone was to deliver elm already worked up. Yep I would be right there.

Red Elm is one of THE very best firewoods there is. Hard to find, most died out years ago. Im burning some now.
American Elm is good firewood. Stinks a little, but splits decent if straight grained. I like it when the temps arent under around 15 degrees or so.
Chinese Elm, aka Piss Elm I try to avoid. This is the stringy super wet stuff. Just like posted above, it burns ok, but burns up quick and leaves a lot of ashes. I have burned it, and will again if thats all i can find.
Its better than willow or cottonwood!
