Does anyone have any experience living in different parts of the country, thus having experience burning the different regional woods to know what is the best species around? I understand this can vary based on stove set up, personal preference, etc. I also have seen the btu charts, but I'm not sure they can compare to real life heating experience.
I've been reading various threads, the most recent talked about american elm, red elm, osage orange, and hedge being the best wood ever. Could this be true, but maybe just for those living in the plains/mid-west?
I've seen other threads that speak of red oak and locust as the best, mostly coming from those in the east coast/northeast.
Personally, I live near the Pennsylvania border in NY, and have an ample supply of oak, hard maple, soft maple, and ash. Am I lucky to have those to burn, or would I be just as happy burning mulberry in Kansas?????
