I'm burning a wood that has burs on it. Underneath the bark it's got burs. Anyone no what that is. It's not very dense. Just fair. The bark is very rough on it. I wish I had a picture.
-
Locust can have burrs but it is pretty dense wood and burns hot.
-
I believe it's honey locust. The bark is coming off real bad. Every block it separates. I probably should have burned it last year.
-
Pictures would help. As already stated, locust is dense. I'm thinking some kind of elm possibly? I had some in years past I thought was elm and it had sharp points once the bark fell off which was pretty easy.
-
I'll try and get a picture of one of the logs.
-
Looks like alligator skin.
-
Elms not exactly light either unless it’s already getting punky.
-
That doesn't look like honey locust to me.
-
Could it be willow?
-
It is not in the best shape. Should have been burned last year. A tree service gave it to me and I remember when I spilt it it would have a jagged edge on the end like sharks teeth. It has a lot of ash and not enough burn time.
-
Could be some oddball ornamental tree not normally found in your area.
-
It's awful hard for me to turn down a load of free firewood.
-
Sounds more like some sort of soft wood not locust like RSI said.
-
Could be some sort of elm. Elm creates a lot of ash as you said this does. The elm I have burned creates hard chunks of ash around the nozzle of my stove so I need to be careful to clean them up every load or it plugs it up. It's been a strange burning wood in my gasser.
-
Not locust or honey locust. Looks a lot like Chinese elm. Several of them growing on my neighbors property, never burnt very much of it so I don't remember the burs. Probably still had the bark on it though.
-
it is Siberian elm not the best but it burns

Never refuse free firewood unless half rotted or no good..The worse free wood I had so far is weeping willow..I smells just like urine when burning..Ill take it again for free..But only burn on a windy day..Far as the type of wood in that pic..Kinda looks like elm..But I could tell more with the bark..

I'll get a picture of log with bark tomorrow

Better pictures
