We always call them Shag Bark Hickory and the smooth is either Bitter Nut or Pig Nut Hickory in my area! Sugar Maple is considered hard maple, not soft and is just a couple BTU under Oak for firewood. It is a little tough to split but makes for great firewood!🔥🔥
Just found your channel and subscribed. I don’t have hickory up here but lots of maple, hemlock, yellow birch, beech and some cherry. Have a great day!
@@livedlearnedDIY yes lots of BTUs. Some say it’s good for smoking too because it’s a nut wood. I like the smooth bark so it is less messy in that respect
That's good to know. We own a 200 acres farm in the foothills of the appalachian mountains. There are several beech trees on the property. I am willing to cut one to find out. thank you. @@adirondackwoodsman
you're splitters running lean..give it a tiny bit of choke or put a bigger main jet in it..or the jet or jet passages in the carb could be partially plugged
Thanks for the advice. I could tell something was not right. That was a temporary engine swap. It was also underpowered. I have since gone back to my 19hp v-twin. Much better.
Nice looking wood, excellent video, new friend here.
Thanks for commenting. That ash sure is easy and fun to split.
My pleasure @@livedlearnedDIY

Does beech make good firewood? I have never processed any beech.

@@livedlearnedDIY No problem. the bases can be a little knotty if they are really large, but they burn great.
