What type of wood do you burn

[Mike R.]

I only burn Maple. Nothing else. Make maple syrup and burn maple wood. I find that the smoke that comes out when I open the door adds a bit to the flavor of the syrup helping make it unique.

We mostly have maple on our property anyways, and I just use the dead trees from in the sugar bush.

I burn mostly mixed hard wood but I have a sawmill and mix in some of the slab.

LOL - I burn Wood - All kinds of wood and it varies year to year. I do stack it a year ahead of time and cover it. I also burn wood to heat with - so - all the odd shaped, large and small stuff gets burned in my homemade arch - as it has a large firebox. The wood types I burn are Hemlock, Popple, Bass, Balsam, Ash, Beech, Oak and a little Maple.

Mostly hardwood cleared from the bush and yard. Maple, red oak, ash, hop hornbeam, hickory. I leave the basswood to rot. Lately I have been cutting all the small elms, 3 to 4" diameter. They will never survive to full size. I cut them at the base, let them lay with leaves on for a week or two to dry them, then cut for fire wood. Lots of cutting but not much splitting!

depends where I'm clearing out.... slabwood, a lot of white cedar, ironwood, ash, soft maple, poplar ... I try to put a mixture in as well. I wouldn't completely load up with the ironwood. I split the hardwood quite small, don't worry as much about the cedar.

Soft wood for maple, hard wood for the house!!!

I am using all pallet wood and dimensional lumber. With last year being my first with an evaporator I wa not sure how much I would need. I have 3 to 4 years worth stacked and covered so I should be good for now.
