Getting ready for the cold days of winter. Split about a cord of firewood
today. Some mountain ash and some shag bark hickory. The pile didn't go
down
much and I'm tired already.

hey Srgnt got any alder trees around you or on your land?
dried alder with the bark removed and then chipped makes
for some good tasting smoked grilled meat. it is difficult
to obtain around here since it is a cold weather climate
type of a tree.

Alder doesn't sound familiar - and my #1 son smokes so he and his DEC buddy
who have walked the property would have mentioned it I would guess.
