I have not noticed this link posted here, sorry if this is a re-post of something I missed....

A link to a chart on http://chimneysweeponline.com/ that lists wood with its weight per cord and BTUs per cord. (Both alphabetically and by BTU value)

I was trying to find the numbers for silver & red maple we just scrounged. The red maple was 26in dia at 4 feet from the base, the silver was about 30 in at 4 feet. Both were huge trees. The rounds were so heavy the tree guys cut them 12 inches long to make it easier to put them in the pick-up. 7 trips back and forth to move the rounds to my yard before I gave up for the day.
 
been referenced many times before here, definitely a bookmark worth link. Nice to point it out every once in a while for new members to see!
