[QUOTE="CTYank, post: 4845803, member: 53405"] Black, or Sweet Birch is surely not overlooked by me. I love the stuff. Burns long, hot and clean, with great, subtle fragrance outdoors. Air-dry density around 48 lb/ft^3, way higher than Red Birch. Up around hickories. Sweet birch was used to make birch beer, back when. Got a couple of p/u loads recently with connivance/help of some guys I volunteer with. No need to tell me twice. It's not going to split like red oak, ferinstance. Some black birch rounds cause me to break out a 3 kg (6.5 lb) Mueller maul to make it into smaller pieces- a good January workout. Sometimes I just noodle a groove into the bigger rounds, and go ballistic with wedges. [/QUOTE]
