MOLE stands for

Mulberry
Oak
Locust
Elm

and MALE stands for

Maple
Ash
Locust
Elm

Somehow these will work together in combination and make the hottest burning fires possible in a wood stove. Now, of course there are others, but these two acronyms are darned easy to remember. My firewood pile is composed mostly of a male mole.

WDYT? Have I lost my marbles?

So what ya burning tonight? :)
Oak, maple, elm, and ginkgo.

Believe it or not, the ginkgo I cut in June burns about half way in quality between elm and maple. I found it to be a rather pleasant surprise. Mix it with oak, ash, locust, or mulberry, and it makes a great rolling flame--must be the Asian influence that brings out the best in our domestics.

There I go again, losing my mind. ;)

OMEGA firewood:

Oak
Maple
Elm
Ginkgo

Although the willow isn't a true "Hard" it is defnetly abundant and when dry makes a great fire starter... builds nice coals quickly. Just remember LOW AIM Great Flame
