Ok so I have finally gotten to the point where I am 1-1/2 maybe 2 years ahead as far a wood supply. This whole supply is mainly silver maple which unfortunately is lower down on the btu scale but so far is has all been free. I live in southwest Ohio so silver maple is very common. I have managed two scrounges but still mostly silver maple. I want to pick up some wood with higher btu output but figure I am going to have to purchase it. This will help add to my 2 year supply plus hopefully make the house a little warmer. I have seen different types for sale such as ash, oak, beech, maple, elm, walnut, locust, etc. I won't need it for this year or next so I don't need to purchase it seasoned because I figure most people really aren't selling truely "seasoned" wood anyway. So I do have time to purchase it cut to the length I want and then let it season. My question is what type would you look to purchase if you were in my shoes? Thanks in advance for your input.
