You had trouble splitting it with your huskee?I pass on Elm. I battled some last year, and won't pick up any again.

Never had a problem splitting Elm, I cut it and let the rounds set for a summer, it then split really easy with my 22 ton splitter.
That pic alone should scare us all off of Elm.And a 22 ton unit would have barfed on this log:

Actually - I am not sure that my splitter didn't.
Sorry for the repeat posting of that pic. I am sure some of you long timers are getting tired of it.

And why I stacked the rounds for the summer. I have plenty of room.That is exactly what I had to deal with. No more. lol
Oh yea they dry fast and well but the splitter has to basically cut/rip through them. Some I had were so springy I had to cut them the rest of the way with an axe or the saw! That's off a hydro splitter!
Not a bad wood at all if you deal with it on its own terms.
