See attached photos. These were taken 4 hours after I stuffed the BK King full of seasoned Ironwood; my very favorite wood - splits easy, dries fairly quickly, and contains lots of heat potential. And this is with no flame! That cat is hot!
I have some growing around me. Always tempted to fell one just to see what it's like. How long to season that stuff?We have it as hop hornbeam
Hate to say I'm not sure. Got it twice after storms. Both times were fairly small amounts (1/8 cord or so) mixed in with other stuff, mainly red oak. So it got seasoned 3 yrs whether it needed it or not. My guess, just a guess is that it seasons faster than oak being more like hickory. Largest rounds I had were just over 8" I would say down to 5-6". All got split.I have some growing around me. Always tempted to fell one just to see what it's like. How long to season that stuff?
