[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 4155486, member: 3448"] I have other options such as oak, hackberry and one enormous pear tree and a few cottonwoods. I just have a lot of elm and hate to waste it. I have one very large pile of mostly elm that was cut in 2020. Last week I was splitting some pear by hand and cut an 8" round 16" and 12" long round of the old elm to try. I was not successful splitting the 16", but did split the 12". Friends that burn a lot of wood tell me they like it for firewood. This year I burned two other large piles of elm and have the one large pile left. But will be cutting down a lot of it in the future. One very large elm near my house died earlier this year. Lots of them tend to die at about 8-10". Is there a market for pear to smoke with? It's a huge tree. Looks like three trees grew together. One large limb I cut last summer has made 1/2 of a rick.
