Yup, burned ash for the first time last week. When I cut, split and stacked it last year I thought maybe something was wrong with it (being used handling oak and hickory) - but burned great. PS - worked down there at the Saturn plant when it first came out of the ground behind the little farmhouse on the hill. I recall eating at Alberts up in Columbia - they served up food on Jack Daniel barrel staves - which will likely become a rareloom with oak wilt spreading.
Burned a lot of oak when the Gypsy Moth was everywhere. Been burning ash for many years recently. Tree companies are very happy to deliver logs for free. Supposedly there is something coming for the Beech Trees.
Man i dont think you get it. First of all,you are splitting ash and it is usually straight grain and it dhould not be that hard to split. It is obvious you are use a felling style axe to split small logs. You need a larger base round that is a little bit lower to set your logs on,or use a tire to put your logs in and split with maul,or a certified wood spliting axe like a fiskars ,or husquvarna style. It is killing me just to watch you exspend needless energy with a very poorly executed technique. Good luck with your shoulder and back. Gravity,momentum, use of proper tool,execution of efficienct techniques.

IDK, maybe it wasn’t called “Alberts”? Can’t find any reference to it on the internet.

A couple things are hitting the beeches. I hope them can adapt!
