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?

You on pain meds and using a chainsaw? Good luck

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.

LOL....Just driving the 4 wheeler dragging the limbs. I'm not getting off this bike to do anything. My dad and kids are doing the heavy lifting.

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 always heard that you shouldn't burn it. Not sure why, but thats what all the old timers say

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.

It smokes and pops alot and makes a whole bunch of ashes.
Fine for settin fires 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.

ditto that. i burned some after Gustav and it was fine for a fire inside during the week because it didn't last too long
