Density of Common Wood Species

  • Active since 1995, Hearth.com is THE place on the internet for free information and advice about wood stoves, pellet stoves and other energy saving equipment.

    We strive to provide opinions, articles, discussions and history related to Hearth Products and in a more general sense, energy issues.

    We promote the EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN and SAFE use of all fuels, whether renewable or fossil.
The chart below shows the air dried density of common wood species - this is the number given in the first column after the wood name.

This indicates the approx weight of one cubic foot of the wood when air-dried (about 20% moisture).

For the purposes of the
http://www.hearth.com/talk/calculators/burn-time
Burn Time Calculator on this site, we have used the following densities for our calculations:
25 - Soft
30 - Medium
38 - Hard
44 - Extra Hard
