That's very informative and useful info to me. Thanks for sharing.

 

Hop hornbeam, aka ironwood, aka hardhack! Nice chart, I knew that was up there on BTUs

 

Just feed the stove some ironwood.Amazing to me how heavy it still is when seasoned.

 

This is great. Thanks. Looks like everything I've been burning is pretty high up on the chart for btu's. I'm currently burning sugar maple and some red and white oak. I was burning white ash up until a few day ago

 

So you're saying there's a lot of BTU's on this truck?

 

Nice score that hedge?
I don't think we have any of that in my neck of the woods.

 

Yup..



So is this. All 2' long stuff for an outdoor boiler.

 

This load too...


Funny thing is, I don't burn much of it. Guy I sell it to burns year round. Bout 14 cord a year.
