Locust wood will burn faster, it is softer than oak.
Dry, seasoned and resinous pine wood burns fastest.
oak is better than mapple to keep a fire going . maple starts faster than oak and is more warm.
absolutely....one of the best, in my opinion..I have been heating with wood for 32 years, and get very good results using locust for burning in my woodstove. It seems to fall somewhere between oak and hickory, as far as, density, btu's, and lasting qualities. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
no
Oak, ash, black locust, osage orange. Hickory is good but pops a lot. Poplar, cottonwood and any evergreen will burn VERY fast.
Most well seasoned hardwoods will do well. Hickory, ash, oak, birch, maple, locust, etc have a high amount of heat per cord. Heat value of some locust is close to that of anthracite coal. Controlled, long lasting burn, good coals.
There are many types. The main ones are Maple, Oak, Pine, and Locust.
about one inch every 20 minutes
Normally soft wood would burn fastest. It actually depends on the density of the wood and the amount of pitch or sap still held by the wood. For instance, soft woods such as pin and cedar, when very dry, burn very fast. However, English brown oak, a hard wood will burn as fast or faster than pine. Balsa, also technically a hardwood, burns very fast. The denser the wood, the slower the burn.
there is nothing intrinsically wrong with a stove that doesn't heat like it used to. It is in the wood that you are using. Maybe this load of wood is not as seasoned as the loads you used before. Any moisture left in unseasoned wood will reduce the heat of the fire and make the stove seem like it is not heating. Or maybe this load of wood is a different kind of wood than in the past. If you used Oak, Ash and Black Locust in the past, and are using Maple now, or Elm or Sycamore, it will not burn as hot. These woods burn faster but with less heat.
Oak wood burns at a temperature of 1300 to 1600 degrees C. When burning wood, it is important to use proper safety precautions.
Green is not a species of wood- it just means recently cut wood that still contains much of the moisture and sap of the living tree. When cured (means dried) it will burn much better. Cured Oak is among the best firewood for heat.
