Shagbark Hickory!

[olyman]

I don't care for it, burns long but not that hot, leaves a lot of ashes. I'll take oak or locust over it any day.

must be about like walnut.....

I never burned walnut so I don't know. I think hickory is good, but I personally like oak and locust better. Much less ash, and a roaring fire. IMO.

Would be very hard pressed to put Walnut and Shag Hickory in the same class. My experience with Shag Hick is that it burns really hot, long and coals great. The Walnut that I have burned doesn't throw a lot of heat and leaves a ton of ash in my OWB. I get enough Oak, Hickory and Ash that I don't mess with Walnut anymore.

Its a good wood, I hate splitting it by hand. Mine was green when cut and I burned is the second season had two summers and burned great about 22%-18% moisture.
