My limited experience in wood burning has been near exact opposite of what I read on this chart. Whoever the idiot was that put this together wasn’t even keen enough to put the btus on there. I would suggest finding info elsewhere.

Very interesting article here. Wood burning is a great alternative to conventional heating if you’re willing to put in the work.

Osage orange, also called Bois’darc? and locust is the BEST to burn in wood heaters, IMO. If cured, it burns longer and and hotter than oak, I believe. We heated a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with it in the Midwest for a few years..

Is that second, larger table available as text, instead of as just a graphic?

I’d love to get that into a sortable table.

In reply to Ronald Karson. Were you expecting a got-dang thesis on wood burning?

You should really mention the risk of Dutch Elm Disease, if dead wood is left the bark/tree is a risk for infection which could then act as material for the bark beetle to breed and spread the disease, which kills elm. All Elm is precious as it’s supports the nationally threatened White-letter Hairstreak Butterfly, of which exclusively breeds on Elm.

Awesome, that will help to decide what we cut down.
