When a man (or woman) is cold and doesn't have any fire, it matters not what the wood is . . . but only that they have wood. All wood is good wood in my book . . . but many folks consider silver maple to not be so good . . . at least when stacked up to sugar maple which is desirable. Silver maple is a bit lower on the BTU scale compared to oak, sugar maple, etc.[/quot
I was told by folks around here that silver and sugar maple are the same I will have to post pictures to see what I have.
