Free???
But, around here we're limited in variety. Juniper predominates unless one wants to drive a ways. Can find locust or Siberian elm if someone takes one down on their property. If one wants to drive there's various firs and pines on public land, assuming it's dead and down already. I've got some lodgepole pine left from last winter, as my juniper supplier was out and my neighbor's son works for a timber company. He has access to a processor, so this was all nicely cut to 16" minus and then split and delivered for a good price. I burn it hot to keep creosote to a minimum.

Here on the river bottom we have cottonwood and ash. (box eldar, choke cherry, Russian olive, etc..) The only firewood I cut is for my parent's old Monarch cookstove that is out in their porch. Not a large quantity but small pieces required. That said Ash is hand's down favorite. Going after standing dead now, try and cut up the stuff laying on the ground before the snow builds up. Couple days ago. (brand new bar)

Me too. I take what I can get and turn down wood every year. I've always had people call me to come and get limbs or whole trees blown over after storms. I tend to get a little at a time year-round and always stay a year ahead. Everything I'm burning now was cut and stacked at least one year ago. Most is oak, but I get some maple, dogwood, hackberry and even some shrubs. Almost all is hardwood, but I'm not opposed to a little pine mixed in. There is a factory here that makes industrial carts and hand trucks out of oak. I'm able to get some of their scraps occasionally.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I've got a mix of cherry, ash and hard maple in the wood rack right now. Ash splits nice but it's splintery and doesn't coal up as good as the maple and cherry.

I am another one for FREE
I burn what I can find and scrounge in Commyfornia. In Arizona I have enough dead Cedar trees to last me the rest of my life. If I ever make it up there full time

Saturday dad, my boy, and I cut a truckload of hedge. Great pic & awesome to bring up the next generation of wood cutters. Honest question - what is hedge?

The property we had in west Virginia back in the day had an extinct apple orchard of sorts. That was some pretty good burning wood.

I'm also a free is best guy. Predominantly we burn lodgepole and juniper. If I am going to the wet side, I carry my saw and look for madrone. A contractor friend drops off 2x material, drops from framing jobs. It's always doug fir and burns great. For splitting I like tamarack.
