Have a question for my Hearth.Com friends- a neighbor asked me to take down a Chinese Chestnut for him, and he gave me the wood. I have never burned chestnut before. Have 2 questions for anyone here who has burned this wood-
1. In general, how long does it take to season (1 yr. or so like maple, or 2 yrs. or so like oak).
2. In general how much heat can I expect from this wood (again btu in range of maple or btu in range of oak).
Appreciate any info.
