Whats in your wood pile?

[fubar2]

Anything that dares take root on my ground. If you look close you will find some chopped up wild grape vine in there somewhere.

 

[stackwood]

White ash ( mostly )
red maple
silver maple
hopherbeam
red oak

 

[bluestem]

This will get the ticker thinking.
This years stock:
Green Ash
American Elm
Apple
Red Oak
Bur Oak
Black Locust
Silver Maple (for Spring)
and a little Hickory

For next year and beyond:
Black Cherry
Honey Locust
Black Locust
Mulberry
Black Walnut
Hickory
Red Oak
White Oak
Green Ash
Siberian Elm

I'm sure this list will expand too.

I have mostly ash and white pine this year, but also have a fair amount of cherry, black locust and white birch. Next year will be mostly white pine and ash again, until it's gone, and then I can go scrounging. I've got at least 20 species, maybe more, if you count some of the odd bits I've brought home. Everything from butternut to walnut, pear, mulberry, balsam fir and ponderosa pine.

This is interesting reading. There's a few trees that some of you guys have in different areas that I've never even heard of before.

My own mix is as follows:

white oak
red oak
pin oak
chestnut oak
shagbark hickory
mockernut hickory
cherry
hard maple
soft maple
ash
beech

 

[hammercore]

Cottonwood
Silver Maple
Paper Birch
Cherry

[branchbuzzer]

I don't like to make any trees feel left out (except pine)

Red ( northern ) Oak - 50% or more of total
Tulip Poplar - Use this most often
Black Locust
Black ( Sweet ) Birch
Beech
Hickory
Sourwood
Red Maple
Fraser Magnolia

Small Amounts of:

White Ash
Green Ash
White Oak
Pin Oak
Sugar Maple
Black Cherry
Dogwood
Eastern Hemlock
Buckeye
Black Gum
Catalpa
Basswood
Sycamore
Black Walnut
Cottonwood
Rhododendron

 

[CTYank]

By relative quantity:
Black Cherry
Black Locust
Sugar Maple
European Mountain Ash
White Ash
Norway Maple
Red Pine
White Oak

Dogwood IMHO is great stuff, properly dried. All happily accepted. Dunno why you don't like it.

Yep, I'd put it right up there with the best.

Most of this was scrounged from a tree service...

Rock maple
elm
white birch
yellowbirch
red oak
ash
poplar
spruce
pine
basswood
chestnut
apple
juniper

maybe more.

 

[yooper]

Iron wood
hard maple
mice
soft maple
white birch
popple
hemlock
piss elm
ants
oak
potato bugs
cjcocn
a chipmunk
red pine
white pine
spruce
red ceder

 

[4seasons]

White oak 50% or more
Red oak 25%
American Beech 10%
Black Locust 7%
Hickory 5%

The other 3% is a mix of maple and other small junk like dogwood, pine, cedar that just got in my way of getting the real wood out. (I know you north-westerners are hating me right now)

This is of course leaving out the smaller stuff that I keep for use in the smoker with is:
Hickory 40%
Apple 25%
Maple 20%
Oak 15%

I have been loving this cold weather for making jerky on the smoker, but I wanted some chicken the other night and couldn't get it up to temp with hickory. Oh well, I guess that is the price I pay for having good wood to burn.

My woodpile is all scrounged either from job-sites at work or blow downs from my cousins farm.
