I'm sure the majority of people here use there chainsaws to cut wood for heat. I read awhile back in a few different threads, some people burn pine. In my neck of the woods, that's frowned upon. I'm not saying its wrong by no means, you have to burn what you have access to. If that's all I could get I would burn it also. It just surprised me. My all-around favorite wood to cut/burn is Red Oak. Fortunately it is abundant here. It cuts good, splits good and gives off great heat. Secondly is Osage (hedge), it can be a pain to cut and split due to its extreme hardness, but gives off incredible heat. We have members here from all over the world. What is your favorite wood in your area you like to cut/burn? I also enjoy seeing pics of different stoves from around the world, here is mine.
