Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Firewood: What variety do you like best?

On my 80 acres I've got about 25 acres wooded with Oak, Maple, Shagbark Hickory, Black Walnut, Elm and of course Hedge. Right now the majority of what I've been cutting has been elm due to the beetles. We burn Osage sparingly as it burns pretty hot. These days it's rare for us to be cutting down live trees unless I'm clearing or making room for my oak trees (mast producing for deer). This year I "automated" part of our process by investing in pallet forks for my Kuboata and started converting IBC Totes into firewood bins.

The ability to only handle wood twice (into bin, then into wood stove) is awesome. I built an IBC Tote dolly with castors, so it can be moved easily in the garage:



One full 275 gallon IBC Tote is almost a face cord.
