Anyone in the firewood business?

Despite hardwood being better to burn for heat, softwood pellets actually produce a bit more heat due to the higher resin content that burns hotter.

That is my experience with pellets as well, the softwood seemed to make more heat.
In the wood stove we would use mostly Oak or Almond.

Why is there a conversation about firewood on a communications site ?

 

[AudioShockwav]

Because it is in the " Open Forum" area.
If you look there are sections on the forum like Ham Radio, CB Radio, Antennas, Amplifiers and more.
Cool how it works like that.

You have been here for 14 YEARS and only made THREE posts?? I'm guessing you haven't looked around too much to see the vast content of non-communications topics in the OPEN FORUM section. Food, firearms, and fishing come to mind right off the top of my head.

I would call my customers in September and ask them if they would like to buy some wood for the winter. I would explain to them that if they wait until it gets cold out, I am going to be super busy. And I usually end up running out of seasoned wood. Wouldn't you know it, the first sign of freezing temperatures or snow, and my phone wont quit ringing ..............................

I am amazed at the people that will burn green wood. My wood was always cut in the winter before I burned it, It was hauled home and split as soon as the snow was off. It was piled so it would dry well and then kept under cover in the fall when it was put into my basement or wood shed. I shake my head at these people that start calling looking for wood in the fall and get fresh cut wood to burn.
