Welcome to the forum Maxice.

Apple is one of the best of the best for firewood. Get it cut and split as soon as possible. It will give you much heat.

My parents burned a lot of that in mexico said it was awesome to burn. Heard its fun to split though

well at my age I would have to say YES!

Burns great but a tough split.

You should season and sell it to smokers and not burn it for firewood. I paid $150 for a rank of it last smoking season and I was happy just to get it. When mixed with oak it is the perfect mixture. Just an idea for you to make some money. I would gladly trade twice the amount of seasoned oak for green apple. good luck

Apple kicks ass

When you talk about apple wood being good to burn, does the same go for crab apple?

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Yes. Even thorn apple, but thornapple really stinks.

Apple wood is great for smoking! Like geoxman said, i bet you could parley that apple for a bunch more burning wood. Your chain saw may spark a bit if your cutting.

Apple wood = good burning wood . . . and it smells nice when freshly split.

I just got a little bit of apple also. I put it in another post. I usually smoke with hickory. For the people that smoke with apple. Do you smoke with it green or let it season?

A neighbor of mine just offered me two apple trees he had cut down the other day. He burns pellets and he knows I'm a wood burner. The trees are quite old and have a bit of mistletoe growth. What's the recommended drying period for apple? Can I burn it next winter if I let it dry covered but in good sun?

I am a stick burner and use no charcoal so all of my wood has to be dry. Hickory is over powering when using only wood for fuel..JMHO. Sassafras is also a nice wood with lighter meats as well as maple. good luck with your smoking! Tis the season
