My friends at work all swear by sugar maple over silver. Is there really that much of a difference and why so? Thanks

Cappy, have you been burning Red Maple for a while? I've been getting some of it from a neighbor as a result of storm damage. It's green and I've split it fairly small; I'm wondering if it'll be dry by this Winter. I know that it dries relatively quickly, but how quickly? Thanks for any light you can shed.cptoneleg said:My Maples are Red Maples (soft maple) I have plenty of them

Woody, we burn a lot of it and yes, it dries fast. I would not hesitate to burn it if it were cut in late winter or early spring and split right away. It will be fine by fall.
Thanks, D. I've only had the Red split (fairly small) for about a month but it's been great drying weather lately. Above-average temps and good breezes. I gave it to two in-laws and will check its progress later this Summer.Backwoods Savage said:yes, it dries fast.
