Cedar Elm...burnable in a stove w/catalyst?

[RoseGarden]

Someone please say yes.... I came home from kirk to find a good intentioned person had left me a pickup truck load full stacked by my wood pile.

Not Sure about Cedar Elm, but I butchered a Siberian Elm (my arch Nemesis) and let it rot a year(pleasurable) and burned it violently. It took a catalyst to get it going, but once it got to going it would of taken 10 feet of earth to shut it off. Burned hot, lots of ash, and smelled of wet dog, but what a raging flame.

Hope it being related helps...

We have lots of cedar elm here. Don't think of it as firewood, but you could probably use it if very dry cured and mix in a piece once in a while while burning oak, pecan or other wood. I would make sure it is very dry before I used it.
