Greetings and salutations fellow gangsta rappas:
As the end of this heating season comes into view, my thoughts obviously turn to the future. I burned a lot of cherry this year because I was a bit late on getting a firewood supply and cherry seasons quickly. the question relates to white birch vs. cherry; I found cherry to be "ok" wood, good, not great. It does light easily but in terms of heat output, it couldn't hold a candle to oak and sugar maple. What are your experiences with white birch? I have a huge stand of it on my property that I'd like to clear out. The firewood BTU charts rate it exactly even with cherry, but if it burns like garbabe, well, I'll just skip the project and find something else to do :red: . Any advice would be apprecaited, thanks.
