We burn about 15 face cord a year. Lots of ash right now because its everywhere, but I love hard maple and white oak too. We also have a couple types of hickory here on the place. One thing I didn't see mentioned is Hop Hornbean. It's part of the birch family but I'd say it burns more like beech. Splits about as hard too. I cut up every dead one I can find and mix it in with the rest.

I WISH we had a good supply of hedge around here. I've burned some that I got from a farmer pulling an old hedgerow and people are right, it burns like coal.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
