Great. I also have lots of beech. I think beech is higher on the btu charts and it dries faster. Plus, the oaks look very healthy!

Yeah diff between btu's is negligible. Unfortunately prob plenty of dying beech, so I wouldn't take the oak if you can help it. Beech deff seasons at least a year sooner too. Good call
That is what I meant, beech is not looking very well, past the 12" base diameter, all rotting. The oaks look great, I would never cut them healthy/standing.
