Prune BTU?

[gizmos]

Hi all
I can't find any info on prune trees. I'm looking for a BTU rating? Have 20 AC avail. Anyone have any rating ?
Thanks

What you can always keep in mind is that fruit trees generally are extremely good firewood.

I guess that prune trees are really plum trees. Plum is related to cherry, which means the wood will be similar to cherry, and pretty good firewood. The question is how branchy and twisted the trees will be. The shape of the tree won't reduce the quality of the wood, but may make it harder to cut, split, and stack.

Yes, I took it that plum is what was implied here too.

I would think prune would make awesome firewood just like all the other friut trees do

Prune is a dried Plum. So... It might start out drier

Good in the smoker too,been years since I had any though.

I just checked a fairly comprehensive USDA document listing properties of various species. Like Wood Duck suggested, it treats most plum species as being just like cherry.

Are raisin vines good for kindling and firestarters?

Raisin or grape vines?

Thanks for the info,
I would think that someone would have the BTU rating on all trees, but I guess it's an over kill if a lot of them have the same property's .

Thx again

I swear some of my vines ARE raisin vines.

They may start out drier but they come out wetter! For me anyway.

Took me a minute. Got it.
