Ok i have cut and split what i thought was a sycamore tree....it is very dry, light in color and weight, it coals pretty good, but stinks....i mean smells BAD. (when burning) i think it smells like a firecracker that just went off? now i usually enjoy the smell of burnt gun powder or fireworks but coming out of my insert and chimney just doesn't appeal to me. does anyone else have experience with sycamore smelling bad when burned or could it be a different type of tree. there is no grain pattern nor bark. (sorry no pics)
Thanks Steve
