Can't say I've ever had the pleasure of burning or cutting/splitting elm of any species before. Having said that, I just scored a huge (for me anyway) amount of the stuff already bucked. Guy says some of the bigger rounds are over 2 feet in diameter. Trees were cut down a couple weeks ago due to elm disease but all the wood is solid and without any rot. Should amount to about 5 to 7 full-size pickup loads. Having never dealt with the stuff before what would you guys recommend as far as preparing it for next years burning? Is it splittable using a Fiskars SS? Is it best split right away or should I maybe quarter it and work on it come spring and summer? What would you elm burners do? Thanks for any and all advice:yoyo:
Oh yeah, don't know what kind it is but I live in the Cleveland Ohio area if that helps...judging from the pics uploaded by Whitespider I'll see if I can identify it when I go get some this evening. I hope to post a few pics too.
