List all the types/species you currently have in your possession ready to burn, or at least in rounds or log length. I have: Eastern White Pine, Red Maple, Poplar, Cherry, Red Oak, White Oak, Black Locust, Black Birch, Yellow Birch, White Birch, Shagbark Hickory, and Ash. Normally I’m able to score some Rock/Sugar Maple, but none this year. I’d also like to acquire some more BL and maybe a little Beech.
Let's see.... in order of what I have, most to least. Oak, mostly red, some white Maple. Mostly red, some sugar Black locust Ash Apple Birch, black and white Elm Sassafras
Hmnn,,,most to least. Red Oak Black Locust Sassafras Ash Maple Hickory Black Birch White Oak Assorted pine Tree of Heaven Cherry Ironwood
Ash, red oak and hachkberry ready to burn. On deck, white oak, shag bark and pignut hickory, black locust and a little bit of hedge.
My 23 acres is probably 80% Quaking Aspen, the other 20% is a mix of Red and White Oak, Cherry, Red Maple, Red and Jack Pine. Its a young forest that was clear cut back in the mid 90's so only the Aspen and Pine are really worth bucking up for Firewood. 50% of what I burn now is Aspen and the rest is a mix of Black Locust, Maple, Red Elm, Ash and any other decent harwood I can scrounge. I have a friend that cleared 10 acres of Oak and doesnt burn wood, so I'll probably be set with that for years to come.
Elm, ash, hackberry, elm, western red cedar, pine, elm, cottonwood, a tiny bit of birch, a small bit of oak, ..... oh, and some elm.
Ash, Butternut, Beech, Cherry, Elm, Hickory, Black Birch, White Birch, Yellow Birch Red Oak, White Oak, Hardhack, Sugar Maple, Red Maple, Hemlock, Spruce, Poplar and EWP. I think I covered them all a good mix of Firewood.

Osage Orange Mulberry Cherry Honey Locust American Elm Slippery (Red) Elm Siberian Elm Hackberry Ash Red Oak Silver Maple Cedar, Eastern Black Walnut
From the burn stack this year, stacked in order from low BTU shoulder season wood to high, down to low again for spring shoulder season.... Siberian Elm Honey locust Mulberry Ash Norway Maple Silver Maple This is the first stack I'll be burning from arranged this way with lower BTU woods at the beginning/ends of my single row stacks. If I ever tried to explain this to anyone other than you guys, I think I'd be accused of being outta my mind. But I like to think it makes perfect sense to "us"
So true!!! Before joining here, I never burned Pine, separated my hardwoods, or heard of a three year plan. Now I'm just as crazy as everyone else.
I'm sitting primarily on (highest quantity to lowest quantity per species in order) black locust, honey locust, white oak, red and pin oak, apple, hickory, ash,black birch and maple..... I can remember a time in the not-so-distant-past where I was struggling to get 2 years ahead, taking anything I could find (soft maple, even spruce and poplar). Now I'm sitting on 7 years ahead, all premium hardwood..... If you stay at it hard, the rewards will come. I've not kept much wood that we've cut this year, just a bit of chestnut oak and red oak, and the trunk of that massive black locust I removed back in June...
Ready and planning to burn... Black cherry, hackberry, white oak, red oak, black locust, pine, sumac, mulberry, black walnut. No particular order. Though I probably have more cherry than anything for this burn year.
ash elm soft maple red oak pin oak white oak cherry birch spruce hemlock pine popple ironwood blue beech apple
red maple red oak white oak pine, eastern white There might be a little grey birch mixed in with the red maple. I don't have much more grey birch to get here. I really need to harvest what's left as it is all dying and is pretty much worthless dead standin, it just rots, and fairly fast. I'll have more white oak than red maple and red oak next year. Unless I get an awful lot of red maple cut this Fall. Which doesn't appear to be in the cards.
