Took Doug out to the tree dump this morning. I found a little paper birch and this. Not sure what it is. The whole tree was there. The branch structure reminded me of a crabapple. Any idea? Thanks.
Looks to be the case, schlot. I can't find a definitive bark match, but darned close.... Be honest- Doug led you to it, right?
Looks like it could be crab apple. I think there are a couple dozen different species of crab apple. Is paper birch good firewood?
P birch is on the FHC BTU chart at 20 mil BTU's... BogyDave heats with it in Alaska, gotta be some kinda good.
I hope so, like Eric says the btus are up there. I split some earlier this year and put it in the better wood stacks. I know white birch was sweet to burn. Just make sure you split it or it rots from the inside out.
Neighbor across the street asked me to take one down when I get healed up. If it wasn't for bogydave's extensive postings and usage of it, I would've chucked it, just like the Bradford I plan on removing from our front yard- but I'll put it in the stacks too, thanks to Grizzly Adam's hard work to find a BTU rating on it, and including it on THE ONLY SORTABLE AND DRY TIMES CHART on the Internet
Split and stacked. Added it to the better wood stack. Now to finish bucking, splitting and stacking the apple tree I got this summer.
No ideas the wood type, Is it a heavy dense wood ? But,either way " It's all BTUs " " the generally accepted value for the gross heating value of "oven dry", ( i.e. zero moisture ), wood is 8600 BTUs per lb."
