You are exactly right!
Any of my wood that is the least bit "punky" I give to my neighbor to burn in his outdoor boiler.
I ran a little short of firewood this year but I always know where there is some dead Ironwood (hophornbean).
IMHO, it is the best firewood available where I live, although the NYS conservation Dept. says Hickory is a tad better.
I cut two dead ironwoods today, one about 8" and another about 6".....it rarely gets to be more than 8" or 10".
Dead ironwood can stand for 5 or more years without any deterioration whatsoever and after one year is absolutely totally seasoned as it stands.....ready to burn as soon as it is cut.
I've been retired for years and I'm pushin' 78 but I still cut at least 3 full cords of firewood a year. Some people pay money to a gym to keep in shape. LOL

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
