Hi all,
I have a HUGE elm tree at my house in town that has to come down. I hate to take any tree, but this is a hazard. It's 60 feet plus with multiple trunks, that would take out all my neighbors garages (depending which way it fell) if it fell. It's a great shade tree. but has to go.
I've checked on the web and found:
Elm is in the middle of the pack as far as BTU's / cu. ft. compared to other woods.
Elm is a tough wood to split.
If I were to use it, it would be used to heat a shop in an out building on the farm.
Anybody have any experience or knowledge of using elm as firewood? Thanks
