White Ash, Hickory, White Oak

 

1 . Hickory

Don't have any

My favorite depends on the time of year.
Spring and fall-Green Ash, Silver Maple , Cherry and Elm
Winter-Bur Oak, White Ash, Mulberry and Locust when I can get it.

 

Ash, mostly because its the easiest for me to get around here due to the EAB.

I use to say White Ash but we had so much of it around that's all I got for years due to EAB. A few years ago I got a load of Oak, most Red. Now that's it's seasoned I have to say I like it more than the White Ash. If I had a burner that gave longer burning times I might have a different answer. I like when I can sit around the fire and relax to burn uglies. When I want a pretty fire nothing but nothing beats Green Ash. The fire from a Green Ash belongs in a magazine Next year I will try some Hickory. I have my first couple cord that's been sitting a couple years and next year should be ready to go. Will I change my favorite?

 

Formerly, and for many of my 40 years of burning wood, it was Hedge. Now, White Oak.

 

Oak, Hickory, Mulberry, Locust, in no particular order, however they come, especially if already down and easy to get to.

Cherry, Ash, Maple, Walnut, in no particular order, being secondary woods, and mostly burned when I'm home.

Sycamore, Boxelder, Catalpa, Elm, Pine, in no particular order, as with secondary woods, burned when I'm home and/or when I need to run a lightweight load.

 

Buckthorn, of course.
Followed by lilac, ash, and shagbark hickory. Apple is good, too.

 

Ash and soft maple. It's readily available and free to harvest.

 

Red oak and silver maple. Easy to split

 

I would have to say locust rite now....gets me thru the nite with a nice coal bed fer reload

 

My list is this.
1. Red elm
2. Ash
3. Oak
4. Mulberry
5. Anything else that is hard and I can get cut up.

 

1. Red oak of course
2. Anything else I can easily get for free

 

1. Oak...Red or White (plentiful around here)
2. Hickory
3. Locust
4. Red elm
5. Cherry
6> Anything that will burn

 

Shagbark Hickory for me. The only buckthorn we have is smaller as it's invasive and not native. It's spreading pretty quickly though. Does buckthorn really burn nicely?
