    Oak: white, northern and so red, chestnut, post, willow, shumard, black, scarlet

    Red and Sugar maple

    American and European hornbeam

    Pignut and Mockernut Hickory

    Ash

    Blackgum

    Foster Holly

    Cherry

    Dogwood

    Kentucky Coffeetree

    Sourwood

    It’s not all seasoned, some are new additions and small species=small wood. The bulk of my hoard is Oak species. They are big and are dying and falling over all the time.
    Pretty sure I’ve already burned any bl I had. I’d like to find a big ol dead persimmon to add to the collection. I know where some big dead Sassafras is, but they are not in a convenient location.

    13 cords total all CSS
    1.5 cords of that are Fir (green/recent)
    about 70% of the 13 cords are Doug Fir
    The rest is Madrone
    Locust
    Cherry
    Maple
    Oak
    In that order
    I gave a cord of the Cedar Deodore to a friend in need and the other .5 cord sold to the neighbor's son ridiculously cheap for fire ring wood.

    Most to least? For this season it's ash, silver maple, cherry, white pine and cottonwood. Might be a little bit of sugar maple and black locust too.

    Next year will be mostly red and white oak, with a whole bunch of other stuff in smaller quantities, including ash, hornbeam, beech, apple, white and black birch, locust and even some butternut.

    I have a huge diversity of wood species available to me, and I am willing to burn any of it. Except willow. Willow is crap.

    We don’t have a big variety of hardwoods here.
    Red oak, beech, yellow birch, sugar maple are the hard hitters. Red maple and white birch in abundance. Limited hop hornbeam. Poplar ( quaking aspen). First time ever I have a couple small elm trees cut and split.
