Don't know Maples very well, possibly Poplar. I don't know. Help appreciated.
yeah that's maple alright, I'd rather split 2 cords of oak than 1 cord of maple sometimes, water usually squishes out, red maple's pretty good, good score.I've got almost a cord. Never burned this stuff before. It is the hardest wood I've ever split, the grain of the wood is twisted. It also seemed really wet.
What is the seasoning time of this
Stuff?
Red Maple. I got a yard tree that came down in a storm and it had that twisted grain....tough as hell to split. It was a live tree and was wet when split, but was getting pretty dry after a few summer months. Some of the fastest-drying wood you can get. Medium heat output, not as good as Sugar Maple.I've got almost a cord. Never burned this stuff before. It is the hardest wood I've ever split, the grain of the wood is twisted.

Just remember it's just as good pound for pound as any other wood.Finally found a chart with red maple listed. Its a pretty low on the btu charts at 18.7 million per cord.

I toss a small load of soft Maple on in the evening....no morning chill.Good for the early season where you want a quick fire to take out the morning chill.
My stove hasn't gotten bigger when burning lower btu wood. HaYea but stove size increases for the lower BTU woods to get the same heat output.
