What do you have to burn?

[bryanr2]

I have a ton of Oak, Maple, and Locust. Unfortunately it has been so mild here this winter that I didn't start a fire till Jan, and have only burned thru 4 wheelbarrows of wood. Worked hard to get ready, and don't get to see the fruits of my labor.

There was alot of storm damage white oak last year I hauled about thirty lwb truckloads home and split it with my neighbor using his logsplitter I gave him half the wood lately I've been cutting standing dead ash for my family that didn't prepare for winter and ran out.

Got a good mix of hardwood to pull from here in PA. Red and white oak, beech, hard maple, lots of black cherry. Run into some shagbark hickory now and then but oh so hard on chains. Gotta keep some of the beech and hickory around to supply buddies for smoking our speed beef!

Where in Pa? Mostly the same for me. Beech, oak, cherry, maple and some locust.

 

[SteveinUT]

Pinon, juniper, spruce, ponderosa and aspen is pretty much it around here.

Hedge Apple, Hickory and Ash for me.

I mostly burn cottonwood and some lodge pole. There's tons of Russian olives around but I hate those things so bad that I won't even bother burning saw gas to cut one.

What do you not like about Russian Olive.

 

[skidooguy]

Mainly the prickly branches. I've heard they are good for firewood but I'm allergic to them so I stay away as much as possible.

 

[skidooguy]

Also they are no fun to try and gather cows out of.
