Red Elm

[wackydeejay]

You all sure have me all jacked up over this red elm...LOL I have cut over 2 cords of it this winter. The small to medium rounds split super easy with the maul for sure. I noticed this stuff is a bit stringy in the splitter, though. Either way, I can't wait to see how this stuff burns when it's ready!

Red elm is some amazingly hard stuff. Thats one type of wood to cut in the dark. you won't believe the sparks that come off the chain. Some of that stuff's like concrete

LOL...I had some on a stand at my GTG...For some reason people would cut one cookie off of the end and move to greener pastures...

Ya, Red Elm is great stuff, probably next in BTU's to Shagbark Hickory

It's a far cry from Shagbark Hickory in BTU'S but it's still real good fire wood and makes some beautiful boards. I wish we had more around here.

Elm, Red Ulmus rubra 3,060 lb 19.0 M/BTU per cord

Hickory, Shagbark Carya ovata 4,080 lb 25.3 M/BTU per cord

Oak, White Quercus alba 3,910 lb 24.2 M/BTU per cord

Oak, Red Quercus rubra 3,570 lb 22.1 M/BTU per cord

I really feel that that is under rated for elm. It coals up so darn good and just keeps heating. In fact my wife said { I hope you have more Elm cause this ash sucks} My replie was to get your ash out there and help make some wood if you don't like whats down there. The recliner is calling my name:hmm3grin2orange:

So were is the pics, can't we have some pics on the first date?:hmm3grin2orange:

I'm still trying to figure out how the heck, with all the time you two spend on here, you just figured out you live 20 miles apart. That's gotta be some kinda record.

That made me laugh too. You would think one of them would have been curious.

As soon as somebody even remotley close to me starts posting, I always ask them where they're from.:msp_mellow:

There is a truckload of wood in the part on the Right that broke off.

Holy shart balls batman!!

That IS freaking huge. Is a 36'' bar even gonna do it?

 

[stihl sawing]

Ok, Now the Elm, Please tell me this is a red elm.

We also determined this one is bigger than 24 inches too.

 

[DSS]

After you get the trunk out of the way, you might be able to pull those limbs out of there with your truck? or are they too big?

Damn sure ain't gonna hurt the house.:msp_scared:
