Thanks to Chip who found this site -- I wanted to post as a special link he had posted under my " Mock Orange....." subject

It gives firewood facts that I feel are very helpful.
angelsmom10Great site, thanks
angelsmom10The thanks is really for Chip -- he posted it in a response to my ??? about a certain type of wood.
STEVE/DAVE -- maybe a good insert on site or magazine
angelsmom10Thanks for posting the link.
tlhdocWoow, I never would have though they gave different levels of heat ......
Thanks
angelsmom10Good information, although I wish it covered some of the popular trees in our area. I didn t see pecan or mesquite on there, which is usually what we have here.
I like the measurements on volumes of wood too, as the names are a little different. What was listed as a " face cord" I grew up calling a " rick" of wood.
Brian has another column too, he would add, smores value, basically does the wood adversly impact the flavor of the smore. This is a very important criteria for him, as he will not cook or eat smores over for instance, a pine fire. He says it makes the smores taste like cresote.
