Some types of wood do seem to fracture better in the bitter cold, this darned log/tree, it'll come out in layers. Often times, I just take planks off the difficult elm, sections split from around the perimeter, then see what's left, see if I can line up a crack with the wedge. If one can buck up the blocks, let em dry a bit, you'll see the best cracks to line up and that makes a big difference most of the time. There was a woodlot adjacent to my field and it was an elm grove along the pond/marsh, grew well until D.E.D. get them all. Place also produces very nice Morel mushrooms, canopy is gone now, they did come back last year though. These logs were unusually large, I headed them up 2 years ago, bucked the blocks up early Nov. stacked and covered, split over several weekends. Figured it might have split easier with some age, but it has to really punk up for that. Some of the trees were straight grained wood, elm can vary quite a bit, very good hot burning, coal leaving wood, well worth the time to process the 4 cords of it.

Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
