Man I love Hickory
In my wood stove. Burns better than oak. First time I got any delivered. It's nice

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. |

This has been one fruit produceing year. Banner crops of beach plums, peaches, bay berries, wild cherries, just anything. Beach plums were especially astounding |

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

I also found a great amount of Beach Plums this year also, on Sandy Neck. Wife made a ton of Jam too. I had my best year ever with blueberries. Must have picked at least 2 trash barrels and finally gave up as I got sick of them. I real wet spring followed by some nice hot weather is just what the doctor ordered for fruit. The occasional showers we got too help so much. You are right banner year. |
