It's a phenomenal field guide...

Thank you
ya they all work..here in ontario Canada the faveriots are Rock Elm, Hard Maple,and Iron wood...as well as the Oak's ETC that you mentioned
Willow. Smells like ass. Agree 100 on the tree of heaven.
When it wets up on snow it gets black which helps the sun melt it. Just don’t spread it too close to your entries because you’ll track it inside. We just broadcast it on our lawn. It never hurt my rough hands!
Thank you so much for this
wood is wood its fuel even if you gather it from forests its all heat free is the best!
Mulberry doesn't catch fire easily inside a fireplace. I have lots of mulberry wood and it gives me a very tough time to start fire.
How would whitethorn be rated
The black walnut trees here just won't quit. Squirrels are constantly burrying the nuts around and trees sprouting up. The wood is gorgeous though when first split it has a slight purple hue to it.
@Burly Beaver - Great info and well-presented! Thanks!
I've got a big log
Nice crickets
Sorry volume so low I can’t hear you 😢😢😢
eucalyptus tree
Love your videos! Ive learned A lot! Thanks!
No one mentions eastern Dogwood. I live in North Carolina and there’s a blight or something. It’s killing the dogwood. I certainly wouldn’t cut down a live one for firewood, but in my woods lots of dead dogwood Burns very hot. I also like burning Bradford Pear not sure what the heat rating is, but it’s brittle and because it is planted as an ornamental you can find wind damage trees people want to get rid of.
Colorado. The Aspen trrees have white bark. The firewood is best on dead standing trees. Even then it will need some time to cure after processing.Large trunks are difficult to hand split. If you like a nice crackely fire, seasoned aspen makes a pleasant lively fire.
Where does eucalyptus fit on your list? I have heard pros and cons using it. Located in California.
Why would the wood still turn black while burning even when it passes the sound test?
Save them for your poop box
My house is surrounded by 30 yr old mature white ash trees. They all got the borer. I’ve started burning it in our stove. It’s awesome! I mix it with red oak and it’s a perfect blend. God gave me lemons and I’m making lemonade by heating our house with it now lol
This is absolutely fascinating
ROCK ELM
I love white Burch smell very recommended. Good video.
Thanks so much for your video 5 years ago. Question for you if you wouldn't mind, we burn oak and our wood stove but the wood just doesn't seem to burn very good. It doesn't seem to be too wet or anything, it seems to be seasoned good, and we have it stacked off the ground and often cover it. The wood doesn't seem to burn very efficiently and looks more like charcoal after it's been burning for a while. Does anything come to your mind that might be causing this? Would overly dry wood do this? The pieces have a nice clunking sound when I hit them together that's not deep or solid but kind of echoey. And the pieces are fairly small splits. I've had a wood stove for over 23 years and this seems to be something I've experienced the last 2 years. I was wondering if maybe my wood was too dry. I just checked the wood stove again, and the oak is completely black on top of it after burning for about 45 minutes. As mentioned it looks like charcoal. Thanks so much for any advice. 😊
Thank you so much! This was amazing!
I live on the east coast. One tree that I'll take if I can get it is dogwood. It's a small tree, and not overly common, but it has a BTU rating of 30.4.
In Texas you need 1 summer
Id also state that if you know its a maple tree ... the Sugar maple (hard maple) is also the maple trees that get Huge ... like 4,5,6 feet around ... .. the other maple don't get that big .
thanks for making this very practical video, makes going to the park more interesting to identify trees.
This should be curriculum in school, along with other plant, shrubs ,vines, berry,fruits and such, awesome video.
I feel it splits really easy
I use lighter fluid :)
Oh yea! I trimmed the mulberry trees. So glad to hear mulberry wood can be burned 🔥 and smells good 😊
You are wrong about the chimney fluid up you are saying what you have away heard. It's all about the moisture content of any wood. Dry pine say less than 15 % is exactly the same as oak at 15% mousture
Where I come from
What a fu**ing joke.
How long does it take to season the top3
Could I do 1meter spacing for these BL ?
Sassafras wood shoots out fairy sparkles often and randomly🔥✨️🎵🎶🙏🚂🎼🌹🎶🎵⚕️💕~C< 3)>>-Z->}
Burn it down to coals and bbq on it. Badass sweet smoke flavor. :)
Keep this series going plz.
I ended up running 2 rank of cherry threw the two coldest weeks of the 2023to2024 winter in Missouri and it did well. I'd rather had hickory or oak but the Cherry is what I had ,that was dry at the time to burn. This last January got down to negative 17 at the coldest for two weeks. I'm glad I had it. It coaled well and will get more with out hesitation to have for my stove
I burn Aspen. Dries fast, smells amazing and is plentiful. The big ones barber chair easily so be careful.
It also makes real nice furniture
He's not very Burly... Or Beavery😕
Best firewood there is!
Not wearing a condom with a dirty girl will give you the hottest burning wood . And not just a burning bush .
You said the Aspen doesn't burn great now you just offended the Great Big tooth aspen tree
Dry time slit ?
