Firewood Hardness Chart

This is a GREAT wood hardness chart, not really intended for firewood, but it works for me. Take a look at White Oak or White Ash, two excellent burning woods, compared to the top woods on the chart. Imagine what Brazilian Walnut could do for your home heating needs! Then again, I'd rather keep our precious rain forests. Click on the photo for a larger view. Happy heating folks.

Black Walnut Firewood Photos

I'd never seen a black walnut or identified the wood before one fell over in my neighbors yard, demolishing his neighbor's garage! It's really quite striking in color and beauty, you will immediately see why it's coveted for high-end furniture and/or veneer. I'm saving several large chunks to hopefully fashion into a nice table or chair. It's a shame to burn the rest but black walnut firewood puts off decent btu's.
