    Looks like black cherry. If so, pretty good firewood.

    Temps for the burn you mean? thewoodlands will tell ya how his winter went last year on that stuff. Im also gonna go out on a limb ...for a lack of a better term and suggest how mature cherry and immature (bark is more like young birch bark rather than ridged) have different burn lengths but saying the wood has low temps...

    I don’t wanna hijack but being introspective Im just gonna let this out.
    Two things: I have a bit of mature cherry and immature. They both burn good, in fact the mature much more so. They pump out great heat for me.
    However Im in a much warmer area so even low heat is amazing for me. I am also thinking I may not be burning mature cherry but some other fantastic hardwood(dogwood comes to mind). Burns very warmly, glass gets incredibly clean. Either way cherry is hard to go wrong with, the smoke smell in and of itself is a treat.

    Oh ok yeah now that makes sense. Yeah if Rope has any temps at -2 to -10 F he thinks thats warm!:jaw::shiver: That’s Looney Tunes temps bro! He’s staying warm anyways and that I commend him for, its his wood Im jealous about! :emb::D
    Im in the same boat but no fire since its close to 55° out but cooler inside. My house is just small so a fire goes a long ways. I’ll be back to burning by this weekend if not tomorrow morning.

    We flamed through our share of cherry in the past, we like the heat it throws but nothing like the sugar or beech does when the colder weather hits.

    We also have a pellet stove so when it gets cold we can burn cherry and set the pellet stove at a certain temp. Last year was a warmer winter so we only burned 48 bags of pellets.
