Beech!

A friend of mine called and asked if I'd be interested in taking about a face cord of split firewood he had stacked in his shed. He converted his fireplace to a gas insert and had no use for the wood. It's been in the shed for over a year and he wasn't sure what kind it was. Stopped there after work and found out it was all beech! Yessir, I'll take it all! I haven't had beech firewood in years!

 

That will make for some nice firewood when seasoned, our favorite.

 

IMO Beech is one of the best of the best! I have some wind damaged Beech on the far edge of my property I hope to get to soon.

 

That's outstanding! Don't get much here either, but I love the stuff.

 

Beech is one of my favorites.

 

Beech is my favorite! Enjoy!

 

Nice score! Beech is my primary firewood and I would take all I can find.

 

Love me some beech. It and Sugar maple are my favorites for high btu's. Was it dry enough to burn now Buck55? Did you put a MM to it?

 

I only have small beech trees on my property

 

It's been split and kept dry for over a year and looks good to go. When it cools down again here I will use some and let you know. I can't seem to find my MM and suspect my son has it at his cabin (dang kids).

 

I just hoarded my forst Beech a couple months ago. I cant wait to throw it in the stove. in 2021

 

Finally got my moisture meter back, and sampled a few pieces. 25.7% on average! More seasoning is in order!

 

It should be ready for 2021/22.

 

I’ve seen some listings that say beech dries in one year but in my experience it’s more like two. I’m with Horkn

 

Not surprised since it's been in a shed with no sunlight and most likely minimal air flow.
