Looking like 90% Ash next year.

I went outside my property for the first time this year to cut wood cause a farmer friend wanted dead Ash cut away from his fence line.

I know a lot of ya'll love Ash, it ain't bad but a big step backwards for my boiler. It's had a steady diet of White Oak. Lol

My boiler better get a taste for it cause I got a bunch.

It's great firewood, on par with read Oak from what I remember, but not with the more dense varieties.

That’s about all I have burned in my boiler this year. And will probably be the same next year

Did someone call my name?

This is just one listing (1st one on the google), most probably have more separation from oak and it depends on species, but it's not a bad trade-off with ease to process and much less seasoning required. I wouldn't turn white oak away though... nice score either way.

Funny how the charts differ from actual experience......my sugar maple and Ash burn nearly twice as fast as a boiler full of White Oak, no exaggeration.

It is funny - I know there are guys who swear by sugar maple too. Probably a lot of variables. I rarely use only a single type of wood and rarely fill my OWB unless it's extremely cold - then it might be all hickory or whatever. I guess you could mix ash and oak to make it work for you.

Sugar maple is probably my favorite to burn. It dries faster than oak by a good margin. Oak is easier to process though. Usually straighter and easier to split. Ash is great too though.

Sugar maple burns great in my OWB. Coals up great. I mostly burn bur oak when I burn oak and it doesn't coal as nice. Ash is fabulous as well. Dries quick and splits easy. Would take all I can get.

Wish I could find any ash left in my area....

Ash all I have been burning pretty much for 20 years.
But I am not a wood snob so when a big popular came down neaxt door to my inlaws I cut it and burned it.
I how ever have pretty much cleaned up the Ash on my property.

we dropped over 157 ash trees at the golf course. I just picked them up with the front loader and piled them up. A few guys came in and had that pile gone in two weeks.

There must be 400+ more that could be dropped, but they're off the fairways so they don't pose any danger. I moved away so i don't work/play there any more, but i could get cherry, oak, hickory, walnut...you name it.

I stopped burning ash because it left too many ashes to clean out. nice smelling wood, but damn, the ashes....
