Red Oak, Choke Cherry, and swamp Maple. Have always had good heat, long burns. Worst: Cottonwood, (found out by accident) and Black Sweetgum... Pain to trim and buck... ok to burn.
EAB is hitting any Ash around here hard.
I have several like that in my woods. I started ringing them about 5-6 yrs. ago. It takes about that long for all the bark & thorns to fall off. I then cut them down. It is still heavy & solid as can be when I load it. My advantage is I have the ability to wait that long.Bitternut Hickory, Beech and ash would be my pick for best.
Worst would be Cottonwood, Catalpa and.........this locust
