Im not sure if its worth your time for burning ive heard not so good and burns fast but ive never tried it so you might get on the fire wood forum and ask them guys how it burns! Where abouts in ks roughly do you live?

After it dries out that Maple makes good camp-fire wood.
Makes a fire that is almost white and it smokes very little.

Got a load of this stuff, initial thought was American Elm now I am not so certain. Any ideas, it is light and splits pretty easy.

It looks like red elm to me !Makes great firewood!

It threw me for a loop with the wide rings and how light it actually was. Guess ill put in the 11-12 burn pile.

What do I have?

I have been searching all of the reference pictures and I could not come to a definitive conclusion on what I came across. My town (Northern IL) has seen some pretty impressive storms lately and so we have an abundance of wood available. I found two distinct types and need help identifying them. I appreciate your expertise!

Shagbark Hickory. Great stuff, pain to split

Any idea what this is? Leaf looks like ash, but only has six leaves on each stem. Cleaning up some blowdowns and was just cut last night. Smells really good as I'm cutting it.

Looks like bitter Hickory.
I think some call it "Pignut"???

The wood fairy showed up last night, which is always a good thing. (A tree service that drops wood off periodically)

I know it is not a great pic, but any ideas on the type of wood?
Thanks
