The truth about Elm.

[Dean Lofthouse]

There's no such thing as bad wood. Just wood thats not properly seasoned.

Is lime wood any good?

 

pollarded a large lime over a year ago, kept the wood and found it to burn well on me open fire mixed with some harder stuff, good year or two to dry tho as very wet!

moisture content, simples. my dad burnt pop for a winter, burned lovely, but it was well seasones and as dry as a bone. elm is fine too, just stack it till its dry. get it split nice and small david and you will be toasting your tootsies in a couple of years mate

Burns well when seasoned,also makes good garden furniture.

just remember to get off the chair before you light it!

Is lime wood any good?

 

yes, but contrary to the above, i find it dries quite quick, even in the winter and burns a treat

 

elm is v.good wood but does need time to dry

 

split oak, elm, leylandii in early spring, and ash and lime are the last to split as they dry quicker......in time you'll learn my young padawan:thumbup1:
