Seasoned Hardwoods
Oak firewood is a premium choice for heating, delivering high BTU output (approximately 24–28+ million per cord), often surpassing maple. It produces a steady, long-lasting burn with excellent coaling characteristics, along with a mild, pleasant aroma.
Oak
Maple
Maple firewood is a superior option for heating, providing high BTU output (approximately 24–28 million per cord), comparable to oak. It also offers an appealing aroma and strong coaling characteristics.
Beech
Beech is a premium, dense hardwood for firewood, offering high heat output (approx. 27–28 million BTUs per cord), a long-lasting burn with minimal smoke, and a pleasant, mild aroma suitable for cooking.
Pecan
Pecan is a dense, long-burning hardwood that produces high heat (21.1 million BTUs/cord) similar to oak, with a pleasant, sweet aroma and low smoke. It is ideal for both home heating and smoking meats, as it burns hot and slow, leaving behind good coals.
Hickory
Hickory is widely considered a top-tier, premium firewood, offering extremely high heat output and a pleasant, smoky aroma perfect for both heating and cooking. It is a dense wood that burns long and slow, leaving excellent coals.
Poplar
Poplar firewood is a readily available, easy-to-split, and quick-seasoning option best suited for shoulder seasons (spring/fall) or as kindling. It is a low-density wood with low heat output and fast burn times, often requiring frequent fire restocking,
