Beech for sure.Beech is a great firewood.# I burn a ton of it (actually several tons).You will be pleased.# Beech has one of the highest btu's per cord.

That would make sense as oak is in the beech family, all good wood!

Yep, Beech.
As mentioned, it is excellent fire wood. Dries well with the bark on and splits very easily. I have burned a couple of cords this year and I am really impressed. Lights quickly, burns well with reduced draft, and coals nicely. Not a lot of ash left over either.
Definitely give it some time to dry out, though. The stuff we are burning now, was cut down two Aprils ago. I just let it season in the woods were it fell.

If you were close to me I'd tell you how lousy beech was as firewood and that I'd be willing to take it off your hands just to be a stand up guy.
But since you're not close its great firewood. Why you want to cut it? Looks like a nice tree and lots of good tasting critters like the nuts.
