[angelsmom10]

 
Thanks to Chip who found this site -- I wanted to post as a special link he had posted under my " Mock Orange....."  subject
 
 http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/forestry/g881.htm#specs
 
 It gives firewood facts that I feel are very helpful.

The 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

Good 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.
