Ash firewood

[Itslay90]

I think ash firewood is overrated. I know it's good that it dries fast, but I think it burns too fast.

Definitely not saying this is what happened in your experience but I have seen folks who think they have ash when they really have silver maple.

Norway maple has a similar bark to ash. Ash wood itself doesn’t look like maple, more like a closed grain oak. But that’s to my eye.

Need more specifics to help, but I also prefer oak/hard maple/beech to ash. My stoves seems to burn a few hrs longer with those vice ash, which is nice for the long overnight burns. That being said, it’s great wood I would never turn down.
