Hi all been lurking for a while, just posting now. This is our first year in a new house with a nice woodstock soapstone stove. Bieng my first year burning, i am a novice at identifying wood. I came across a buddy with a lot of this wood for me free for the taking, but i want to make sure its worth my efforts to cut haul and split as its been on the ground for 2 years or so, and in 8-12 foot lengths, about 2 feet in diameter if i had to guess. A buddy of mine said he thinks its cedar, but i want to know for sure. I brought a small load home already to try, and it splits wicked easy, and burns good and long, but im not getting the 500-550 degree burns that i was with the oak i had before. I've only been able to get up to around 4-450. Thanks in advance.
