Wood ID

[njc110381]

Hey guys. I'm wondering if anyone can help me to ID this wood? I got about 8t of it after it had been felled at a customer's house. Never got to see it standing so had no structure to recognise. The chip had big needles in, and when it burns you can see the soot floating around inside the burner. It's like burning tyres! It burns hot and lasts well. It's been seasoned for two years and moisture is about 18% but I can't help thinking I'll have to sweep the chimney a lot?!

 

Edit.. I should also add that it was an absolute pig to split. Hitting it with the axe - well I may as well have attacked it with a toothpick and using my Hycrack on it stalled my little tractor. I had to put it on the mog to get them apart. I've half filled my wood shed too! It'll do most of this winter I reckon.

Scots pine is the only wood that burns like that, surface glistens about 4 mins after it goes in, burns like hell and clags up the glass.

Yeah that'll be it! It's keeping me nice and warm but I daren't shut it down too low because I reckon it'd block the chimney in a couple of weeks! So it's less wood in at once but open up the vents more. Should at least help it to clear itself.

[Alycidon]

I just burn it with the stove wide open.

 

The 17AH is still going well, had a 185 yard crow with it a few weeks ago.
