It's one thing to know what to do...

I had a fella tell me one day, that whatever I do, don't burn cherry...
It'll burn your house down...

Well it does burn hot!

What's this?

Doesn't show up very well, but its dark green inside, seems to be a softwood of some sorts. It was free, along with some walnut. Figured it'd make some good campfire wood..

Still not sure what this is, but it's been drying since I cut it from above.

Smokes like a freight train, and burns. Bout all I can say about it.

Prob is you, will have more luck after it is seasoned but I would have thrown that on in the Chipper! you could try splitting small like slices off the out side and work your way to the middle or just wait.
