So I had someone from the Ohio forestry department come and walk my property with me for advice on forestry management of my woods. To make a long story short I have a bunch of Buckeye trees that I was told to get rid of. His advice was to just girdle them and let em die since in his opinion they are completely worthless for firewood. I looked up the Btu content and they were comparable to pine but it also said they burn clean with no sap like pine. I hate to just junk a tree and was thinking they might make a good shoulder wood. Has anyone had any experience burning this wood?? If so was it worth the effort to cut and split it?
