[QUOTE="homemade, post: 6364481, member: 57572"] Ther is a ton of btu charts all over the internet. But that is total btu output usually per pound of wood over a period of time or until the wood is gone. So one pound of oak might have a bit rating of 200,000btu per pound and take 3hrs to extract that, and a red pine might only have a btu of 150,000btu per pound and take 2hours to consume it. That being said, the same red pine will achieve a hotter stove temp, but not last as long. So when you ask what wood is hotter, it’s a open ended question. Are you asking total btu or highest output temp? For me, I’ll use pine and soft wood all day because It seams that it all I get, and save the oak and hickory for the overnight burn.
