But guess what I could really truly give a rats behind how many BTU's I get out of my sugar wood cause my only concern is how darn hot the wood burns to get those pans ripping. I am willing to bet that if you were able to measure the temp of a good dry piece of pine and a good dry piece of hardwood you will find that the pine burns alot hotter just for not as long. Personally I would rather be shoving wood nonstop so I can get to bed sooner than be throwing in wood less often and be up longer. Done it both ways and I will pick up a piece of pine before I reach for a hardwood in my evaporator.
