That yellow wood rates right up there with some of the oaks.

I rate it higher than oak. More like Bk. Locust. I'm done firewood cutting for the year, but if I run onto some Locust, Mulberry or Cherry, I'll grab it before it gets burnt. I'll find some room somewhere for it.
It’s not warm but very humid and I’ve got a couple hours free here so am splitting some balsam that blew down in last fall and this spring’s wet snow. It’s good for fire pit use and also for burning out stumps, which I have several in the yard. About two days of burning reduces the stump to nothing and we move the benches to wherever the fire is and do s’mores and dogs over the coals. Multitasking lol.
I’m dripping wet but taking multiple breaks to cool down with lots of liquids.

Ha ha.
Yeah. It doesn’t look like it’d be effective, and I don’t hear any positive personal accounts about them.
Scrounged this out of the patch today.
Got about a half cord split up and since I had let the balsam sit for several months, I only got a minimal amount of sap on myself. Heading to town now, scrounged up a free topper.
Well , took a bit to catch up .
Was thinking about y'all today at a thrift store while I was staring at some bowling balls wondering about burn time and btu's .

Forgot about SkullBucket , awesome .
Around here people don’t let them grow natural, they cut them off a few feet above the fork (every year). Those branches burn really fast, that knowledge turns people off on the idea of burning big pieces. So they’re not thought of as firewood.

Daughters bf came over and swapped out a fuse box for me in the shed. I went out to plug in the air compressor and the lights came on...
Forgot to add this earlier, scrounged up some huckleberrys and peace and quite last weekend 
Ground seems to be getting harder than it used to be, lol.
Oh and it’s a good thing it’s a Ford......

I wanna see the ramps you used, or do you have a "loading dock" into the hill.Forgot to add this earlier, scrounged up some huckleberrys and peace and quite last weekend View attachment 850448

I like it.“Loading dock”
How far you hauling it.
About a mile, my son is leveling a spot for a metal building for his in-laws with it. Had to take out a couple trees
Push the stumps out and move about 6’ of material on the high side to level it out.
Why not push the tree over before you cut the leverage off? Or the blade doesn’t go high enough to make a difference?
