Is there any use for one? I'm helping dad bring one down and I just hate to waste all that wood. What says the OB, is there anything I can do with it?

None that I know of but I have never tried to burn on. Should at least be good for outside fire. Sorry that's my specialty but I'm no help.

We'll use it for firewood if it's fallen. We won't cut one down for firewood, but if its already fallen then yeah, we'll mix it in with the other wood.

I've just always burned it in my monthly bonfires (I get alot of fallen limbs). I've always heard that you shouldn't burn it in a fireplace, though I don't know why.

Here is what I do know. Old seasoned hackberry seems to burn just fine. Younger unaged hackberry seems to "pop" like hell.

Never tried it in my fireplace though.

Dried hackberry burns fine in fireplace but not a lot of heat value. Wood Ducks enjoy the seeds, supports lots of insects so beneficial to many songbirds.
