I have a couple of BTU charts and the Pecan is listed at Relative Heat = HIGH. The BTU figures are blank though. THe other list doesn't even show Pecan.

Thanks Pete.
That list seems a might generous with its ratings if the oak is anything to go by.
ChillyGator said:I've got a little over 2 cords of Pecan seasoned 2 years and have burned a little less than 1/2 a cord. It burns very easily, probably a little less btu than the water oak I typically use with fluffier ashes. The ashes tend to hot hot coals longer which is nice. Different varieties of trees have different quality wood, some splits better than others. The bark pops, but barkless wood does not. I like it fine but won't go to the trouble of getting more, the oak I use splits easier and stays stacked better with more btus. The Pecan is bad to twist as it dries, my double stack 24' long has sagged in the middle and now sits on pallets where it spilled. I consider it my shoulder season wood. :coolsmirk:

Boring beetles got the best of it and it was difficult to split. Burned hot and fast. Made lots of ash. Not my preference over oak but it worked great in the shoulder season. Not worth going out of my way for. I'd rather have white Oak or Black Jack Oak any day.
