Which Wood Do You Wish

If I could burn nothing but Box Elder, Silver Maple, and Ash..................I'd be a happy camper.

Hey: I'm Happy!!!!!

 

I'd like to try white oak. None of it here that I know of.. Wood I have had but want more of: hickory of any kind. Fifty miles east has plenty of both, with the lower Connecticut river valley being warmer. At least, that's my theory. I worked out that way for a few years, and it's like its own little climate - ten to fifteen degrees warmer than here at the high and low end of the mercury.

 

Persimmon... I have a lot, but I don't want to cut any of them. Persimmon makes oak look like cottonwood..

 

Being in roughly the same area as you firefighter I have the same types of wood in abundance and rarely get oaks either. I love to process oaks but dont get the chance often, there's just something special about it. I would like to get my hands on some more beech also, I've only gotten one little bitty beech a few years ago.

 

Black locust all day long. Hate the smell of the wet bark, and the sparks but it is my favorite.

 

Locust bark is slimy and gross. It's a good thing the wood is worth it!

 

I'd like to have more of anything but Poplar. Anything.

 

Rock elm?

 

I’ve got a pretty abundant selection of hardwoods here with some fruit woods sprinkled in for good measure. I’m more than happy with what I have.

 

I wish I had more hedge to cut. I would take more oak also. I grew up with hedge and nothing I've had experience with compares to it. The most abundant good wood we have on our property is walnut and black locust, so I'm happy. We have more elm than I'd ever want to cut or split. There is oak in the area that I can cut, but not on our property.

 

Very simple answer to the title question -

Beech

 

River Redgum.

There is very little of it locally as it was all cut down and used to shore up the mines during the gold rush.

I hope that one day someone will come to me wanting a oak tree removed so that I can find out 3 years later how good it is.

This one
I know you all like vids and pics .

 

I guess I'd have to go with Osage Orange and Hickory. I have never burned either of these woods and they are not available in my area so it's more for curiosity sake than anything.

 

I guess we're kinda spoiled here in SE Ohio. My stacks are mixed with Oak, Hickory, Ash, Cherry, Locust, Elm...ect
My favorite to work with is probably Red Oak because it is easy to split and burns great after it's dry

 

Sorry I'm a scrounger so frees good for me

 

Black birch, hickory, locust, Osage orange.

 

Although we do have an abundance of beech, soft maple, some cherry, & some ash.

 

We're blessed with a variety of hardwoods, red and white oak, maples, hickorys, elm, cherry and others. Oak is easy to work with, but I really appreciate a mix of woods in my stacks.

One of my favorites is pignut or mockernut hickory, splits straight, good BTU's and the bark doesn't make as much of a mess as shagbark.
