It can be a pain in the arse, the bigger split which was small was a bastard to split, the smallest two splits were fine. This was from a small dead standing tree without any bark on it, the bigger splits measured 36-38 percent on the m/m, the smaller splits measured 21 percent on the m/m which puts it in the ready to burn stack.Found an elm limb in the empty lot down the street, hows it to split and burn?

I think Jags or Backwoods had a photo of splitting carniage, which pretty much says it all.
That would be Jags.
We burn elm almost every year but we don't cut it until it is dead and the bark has fallen off most of the tree. Most of it splits very nicely then. Cut it and split it green and it is a mess.
I can't help here... I've never seen a live Elm tree around here! Good luck - I'm sure otheres will have good advice on this.To sidetrack the thread (slightly). I'm taking down a live limb and medium size Elm soon. I think American from the leaves. How long will it take to season on average? On year...two? Since they are both green and I split all by hand, should I stack the rounds then split next year? I think biggest diameter will be 12" or so. Thanks!
I love this word! Is it a word?

It only exists here in Hearthheadland...
Actually, I found it exists in Wikiland, too...
