Pecan is supposed to be formidable. Cherry around here, you have to cut the bark if you want to split it by hand without wedges. The bark is that tough. Crazy tough. Elm, I hear, was historically used for hubs on wagons, due to its annual changing grain-pattern, and split resistance.

core-strength, strong like BULL

I think the drone of a small gas engine (more bass) doesn't carry or register on the ears as much as repetitive maul/ sledge on steel splitting wedge. I just haven't had time to fix my splitter since it quit. I like swinging a maul. I don't like pain cropping up later from doing a bunch, on...

Not one bit. It's pitchy, some, but dries much faster than hardwood like oak. Burn dry, burn hot, as with all wood. Burning a cold fire with wet wood is a recipe for creosote. Grand fir is a pitchy mess.

About 24K BTU's per cord, IIRC and 1000's of btu's is the right unit. Amazingly little ash, easy to split, and plentiful, super plentiful. Throw a rock around here, hit a fir. Big rounds are hard to split across, but not around the circumference, barring knots. When you have it narrower, it...
