    This year it was 75% red oak, with 20% sugar maple, last 5 was poplar and ironwood.

    Next years wood will be mostly sugar maple, with a little white oak

    2020s wood will be about 50/50 red oak and sugar maple. Yes, there is alot of red oak and maple on my place lol.

    Excellent first use... :yes:

    That is a smorgasbord of the good stuff... Never burned pecan though.. Sounds interesting... :)

    Nice!!

    I have my eye on a big pignut hickory that had the top blown off...it's pretty big too... I bet there's 2/3 of a cord in it. :)

    That's a lot of sugar maple you have!!! I have some, but mostly red...

    Cottonwood, Lodge pole pine, Ash, Box Elder, Elm, Cedar, Russian Olive, and Quaking Aspen.

    You can see that good hard woods are not easy to come by.

    There are more than 700 different species! Some are quite distinct like red gum but some are very similar, and quite often miss identified.

    Red Oak, White Oak, White Ash, Cherry, Honey Locust, & Pine. Walnut is gone & so is the Silver Maple. Harvesting dead Ash & Elm now to get me through next winter till my Oaks are good & seasoned. Real bummer when you've got 15ish cord of wood that won't be dry enough to burn for 2 seasons.
