Jack22 said:Thanks for the responses. Glad I asked because I always thought oak would be preferred. I will more than likely be having a wood stove installed this summer and for the first season I will be buying wood. I found a guy that will deliver for 200 a cord. He has all the above mentioned woods. I am in Warren county New Jersey so if you guys know of anyone selling seasoned wood in my area for a better price please let me know. Thanks.

Jack - You in North or South Warren County? Split and stack this ASAP for some good wood in the fall:
Free Firewood (Bedminster)08:56 3/18/2011, craigslist cNJ "firewood"
You will need a truck and some way to remove the two big sugar maples we cut down. They were dead trees for years and they are in 3-5 foot sections of trunk. There are about 20 sections. They will make excellent firewood.

first one here and gets it gone gets it
I was wondering if anybody would say that they would prefer a mix of all the good hardwoods. Dennis, What is your reasoning for this? Do you prefer certain woods for certain heating situations?Backwoods Savage said:Oak, Ash, Hickory, Birch or Maple?
All of the above. I really do like a good mix and those are pretty good except we don't burn much birch. I am actually thinking about buying some oak or perhaps seeing if I could trade some ash for the oak. That would suit me just fine.

Todd said:I've been burning 3 year old Oak all Winter and will be doing the same for at least the next couple years since I have a 3 year supply. Oak is very plentiful around here, burns long and hot and also splits very easy. If some other good hardwoods fall in my lap I won't turn them down but I'm far enough ahead now to be an Oak snob.
