Do you heat your home with firewood as a primary or secondary source? Are you thinking of using wood heat to supplement your home heating needs? I've created this site to help demystify and hopefully educate anyone about the joys of wood heat.

Firewood Energy/BTU by Type
As I mentioned in the last post, all firewood is not created equal. The following information was compiled through searches across the web. Thanks to the Burner Boys and ChimneySweepOnline for the BTU ratings. There's a large BTU chasm between some varietals, I guess a lot depends on where the tests were done.
In future posts I'll start to post photos both split and unsplit so you can identify the firewood easier. Whether you're finding your wood for free or purchasing it, you should know what you're burning.
