Burning pine for firewood. Not a simple answer

[js4fn]

I can’t stand burning black cherry can’t believe people smoke with it
My favourite just because I have supply is ash ,sugar maple,red maple,oak,black locust,elm
Beech I don’t even waste my time with it
Sassafras I just leave it laying
Popular I’ll burn in the shop

Why don't you like Beech? I got a pile of it in one of my tandem load of logs and found it burns quite well with good heat.

Here is my last pile of JackPine from a couple years ago. I think there was 37 cords. I’m good for a few more years. It’s has been covered with tin. 8B7305C6-5BC8-4237-A5A8-50386B35ADC4.jpg

There's not much better than beech, imo. If you have to bring wood inside, there's nothing cleaner, that smooth bark leaves all the dirt outside. It can be a little tough to split when it gets curly.

Beechnut trees I have usually go hollow then come down. Cutting beech is brutal on chainsaw for one it’s packed with squirrel chipmunk nuts/dirt
So my beech logs get put in washouts.
I love live beechnut trees some hold there leaves all winter nuts are great for wild life
A treat to burn in the house is a old pear tree

I have found that beech is one of the tree's hanging dry because its killed by the canker. When I cut it I will cut out the knot parts and they are for camp fire wood, way to hard to hand split. But it burns nice and splits good.

I have a shed now to hold the wood.
