According to the Woodburners handbook I just happen to have right here it is basicly the same or just slightly higher than white oak in btu's. They list 6 true hickory's. Live oak is quite a bit higher, highest of all, but we don't see that around here I would think. I had a pignut, which is listed as a hickory, cut down a few years back and it was hard as a rock and burned quite nice, split nice too. I am just finishing up with a bunch of Beech a friend gave me. Worst spliting wood I have ever done, right up there with locust. Knarly stuff. I had to borrow a splitter after a while. Good score. P.

I have a bunch of shagbark hickory trees in the back yard. Great looking tree, and thorws mucho shade. Way too many nuts. Squirrels love the nuts though. I have burnt some that I had to cut down, and it was nice/hard wood. Smell wise I 'll stick with apple. When I have apple I throw it in the wood stove and go outside for awhile just to smell the smoke. Neighbors like it also.

Throw a few green twigs of apple in your grill next time you do a steak, what a difference. |

Paul, two things to remember when splitting locust; split from bottom, and preferably when it's frozen. |
