Pacific Madrone and several flavors of Oak.

Also in Humboldt and we cut Pac Madrone, Tanoak, Liveoak [no more!], a little oregon Myrtle and a little alder and maple for smoke woods.

Madrone is as good as it gets for easy on the cleaning, low ash, and high heat. Liveoak is next, but it is also next to impossible to split.

Per Year

I run a very small firewood business, 5 to 10 clients

I produce about 6 chords a year to satisfy them, and then about 2 chords per year for my parents (they have 2 fireplaces)

I am thinking about producing more and expanding my firewood business but I have limited time at this point.

Equipment

Chainsaw and 8lb maul for years, just recently picked but a used brave 25 ton splitter

Changed fluids and filter runs like a champ

10-15 cords of ash and oak. I use any and all of the saws I have and a homemade 8 hp single stage splitter. I also cut more when friends ask for help, but they keep the wood. I just love to cut!

 

[Mr. Firewood]

well I sold 92 cords last winter and I processed only 13 myself and of those 13 5 stayed at my place for heat, the rest was produced by a friend of mine and I just hauled and dumped it and colelcted the $$ and split it with him, he sold 350 cords last year including the 80 or so to me :jawdrop:
