Midwestern Californians? Sorry Bob I couldn't resist
My yard generates a lot of Silver Maple. Awesome outdoor fire wood, once thoroughly cured it burns hot, lots of color, pops and crackles a

Bob I'm high enough. I don't have to worry about flooding. Besides (everyone groans) we can't stop it anyway.
