Black poplar wood will burn hot. If an air tight stove is being used, the control rate of the burn can be modified to suit the need when it comes to burn rate and heat needed. In quality, with the correct stove, Black poplar will burn to 80 to 90% of Maple based on size, weight and seasoning. It is further essential in controlling creosote.
I had a female landscaping contractor tell me that burning ficus is a no-no because the fumes are toxic. She and he crew were removing several large ficus trees and I asked her if I could take some of the logs and she said sure, but don't burn it.
Sweet gum trees are not considered ideal for firewood as they tend to produce a lot of ash and can be difficult to split. Additionally, the wood may not burn as efficiently or cleanly as other hardwoods, so it is not typically sought after for firewood. There are better options available for firewood that are easier to split and provide more heat.
Most woods can, in some way, be used as firewood. I have not come across any wood that I couldn't use as firewood, but some need a year or more to dry out.
Yes, Arizona ash makes good firewood. It burns well and provides good heat output, making it suitable for use in fireplaces and wood stoves. Just ensure it is properly seasoned before use to ensure efficient burning.
Alder is considered a fair firewood option. It burns relatively quickly and doesn't produce as much heat as some other hardwoods, but it does burn cleanly with little smoke. It's suitable for use in fireplaces and wood stoves, especially when mixed with other hardwoods for a longer-lasting burn.
Black Oak is great firewood. It's nearly as good as White Oak, which (along with hickory) tops the list for firewood BTU output here in the Northeast.

To identify oak firewood, look for wood that is dense and heavy with a light brown color. Oak typically has a distinctive grain pattern with prominent growth rings. You can also check for the characteristic smell of oak when the wood is burned.
Yes. It makes great firewood. Not as hot as Oak, better than pine and the like.
On a firewood rating sheet I have, Osage Orange or Hedge tree, is ranked the highest for heat output at 100. Ash is 73, white oak is 80 and mulberry is 79. It ranks mulberry as "excellent" for firewood, low smoke with a good aroma, however it does throw sparks.
Oak wood is used for flooring, cabinets, furniture, pallets, firewood, and everywhere a strong attractive wood is required.
Well dried oak is one of the BEST firewoods. It has high heat values, low creosote production, splits well, long lasting coals. Ash and Hickory are better, but not by much. GREAT firewood.

When you dry firewood so that it is seasoned and really good to burn.

To determine if a tree is good for firewood, look for hardwood trees like oak, maple, or hickory. These trees burn longer and produce more heat compared to softwood trees like pine or spruce. Additionally, choose trees that are dry, seasoned, and have a low moisture content for efficient burning.
