I REALLY like wild cherry ( black cherry).
The instant i set it on the coals i smell the sweet cherry and if i run outside i can smell it within a minute or 2.
Hickory reminds me of my smoked chicken though. The best chicken in the world (no joke you cant stop talking about it after you have had it) i tell ya. Hickory AND cherry smoked.

Thanks! Made it from the leather heel of a pair of Redwing boots.

33 days with highs below freezing. That's put a hit on the wood shed!
As they say down in Australia "that ain't no van".
I saw this a couple weeks ago and was drooling over it. Nate could even load logs on the roof rack. Steve were gonna need that tailgate lift

I like these things, but if something goes wrong in the engine compartment

East bay area, cali...
I've been working on a big eucalyptus blow down near my house and will have more wood than I can use. Main tree is about 4' at the base and it took 3 others down with it. Anyone needs a load or 2...you cut/or split...send me a PM.
I have a splitter that can be used...bring gas.

around here we havent been above freezing since about the third of January
Damn global warming...
Well, we're gonna need some pics to assess...
Ha, our Eucs don't even compare, LOL
There are 3 other smaller trees under the one in the distance. I've since gotten most of the smaller stuff...down to around 16" diameter...cut up. Still a lot of buried wood, however.
Am cutting to 15-16" rounds on the larger stuff.

Looks like blue gum. BTUs between black locust and osage in the Oz environment but I have read that it is less dense when grown in the US. A bit ashy but I do burn it here and goes pretty well for overnight burns. If you don't have a hydro splitter you need to split around the rings because you'll be there all day trying to split a round across the middle.
What's that Stihl you have there?
Have a good splitter...8h Honda motor, 5" ram. It has no problem busting even 3-4 yr old dry Eucalyptus.
Snellerized 661 with 28" and an 16" Dan Henry 346xp husky in the pic. The 661 does better with longer bars...have a 36 and 42...than with a short 24". Quite different than my old '92 066 red-eye.
One of the other trees down is a bright red heartwood variety. There are maybe 4 different types of Eucalyptus in this little grove.
Those are all looking fun to me.
We have quite a few conversion shops down by the Indiana state line, there are lots of RV companies down there and they go hand in hand.
I bought a Honda foreman off a guy who build custom sprinters, mainly 2wd though. I was very impressed with the little heaters he used in them.

.I've got his dad, the suburban
.I've built quite a few s10's, all 2wd with v-8's, very fun rides. I did a Baja conversion on a 4wd with a lift about like yours and a 327, man would it spray mud or sand
.
Nice saws.
Does that DD 346 do okay with that big 16" on it
.I have a good friend who has a few of them that Dan built, good little runners.

That is exactly what I wanted in a 4 x 4. But my wife is not having anything to do with a van because she thinks they’re creepy[emoji23]
. So I just got a 1 ton gasser truck instead.
The truck is been a blessing in disguise though. One instance was when I took about 10 truckloads of black locust anda few logs were full of carpenter ants
Those things were all over my bed and gladly not inside of the van I wanted.
Garter snakes had a feast when those logs got home[emoji23]

The rest of us just call it Spring.... and I wish it would get here already. Winter is nice, but at this point I think we've all just about had the ***** of it.
