yeah
Yes, dead trees can be good for firewood. The benefits of using dead trees for fuel include their dryness, which makes them easier to burn and more efficient as firewood. Additionally, using dead trees for firewood can help reduce the risk of wildfires by removing potential fuel sources from the environment.
no
seems like it might make good tinder
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.
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.
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.
When you dry firewood so that it is seasoned and really good to burn.
Very good

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.
