What wood is really yellow on the inside and smells really funny when burnt/

I gotta go along with the majority and vote for Mulberry also....

not Mulberry looks like Locust when split has a stinky sox kinda smell almost like some crab apple trees have.

I think it might be locust from what everyone is saying. Because I was splitting the wood in the garage and then the garage started stinky. I would say it is kind of like a stinky sock or sour smell to it. The smell coming out of the chimney seems to be normal wood burning smell.

i realize its not this, but has anyone ever burned bois d'arc(pronounced bowed ark) possibly a member of the mulberry family?

 

[coog]

Bois d'Arc is another name for Hedge(bodark)Your wood looks like a relative.Those who can burn nothing but Hedge.It is in a class by itself.

I don't think you have Locust.The bark doesn't have deep fissures.

I have the same wood that I am burning. i have no idea what it is either but it is plentiful here in PA. VERY wet inside.....ok for heat, not the best, and somewhat stringy.

This goes along with my guess of it being Mulberry; everything you mentioned is true of it.

 

[TKO-KID]

yeah but I have never seen mulberry with this type of leaves.

Possibly Tree of Heaven.

Tree of Heaven, Chinese Sumac, Stink Tree (Ailanthus altissima)

Along my crick bed I have a few like that, It seems like it is in the locust family. The top on mine was dead as he:censored: but when i dropped her, she bled like a stuck pig for about 3 weeks.

If it is locust I could have my stove run at about 350* all banked down. It is a wonder wood.

I won't take any credit if it turns out to be right cause someone already mentioned it on here - Kentucky Coffee Tree.

First pic is the original posted and second is Coffee Tree bark. I also agree with someone who said the bark is not deeply fissured enough for Locust.

 

[Wood Doctor]

YUP!!! The color and bark agree! Sounds like greenish Mulberry.

+2! Green mulberry. I've cut and split mountains of it. Many times the center is exactly like that as the tree or branch matures.

Let it dry for at least six months after splitting. She will turn a deep orange and then she will burn hot.

Would it be one of the Buckeye species ?



It doesnt grow here natively.
