Beech Down

We had some beech come down, the middle is hollowed out maybe we can get some wood out of it.

My father says we have a good amount of Beech on his land that he wants to take down this winter when the ground freezes. Looks to be what I will be burning alot of in the future. It has a higher BTU value that Red Oak and the Maples. So as long as it dries in a respectable amount of time, it should be a pretty good score.

I love burning Beech. Great stuff and I have a lot of them on the place. But they don't die, blow over or otherwise give it up and I don't have the heart to cut one of those live beauties.

I have two monster Beech in the woods in front of the house side by side one a little smaller than the other. Have always called them Beech and Son of Beech.

Grab all of that stuff you can get.

Here's my BEECH!
About 90% of what I burn has been beech for the last 10 years.

My mouth is watering just looking at that beech.

I have just about every type of wood in the pile except ash and beech.

We had a bunch of them come out in the last thinning. It is amazing how much of the canopy opens up when even one of them comes out. Unfortunately, 99% of the beech on the property gets some disease that makes them undesirable for logs and they just get pulp prices.

Slow to dry, nice to burn.
