Black cherry firewood is a GREAT firewood to burn. It's sad really, because it's so beautiful. The core of the wood is a peach/pink color grading out to yellow, white and then bark. It burns HOT and LONG and coals nicely. It gives off a little scent, a semi-sweet smell. If you find any, you'll treasure it for sure.As a general rule any of the fruit woods (cherry, apple, pear, etc) are dense, hot burning firewoods. Click the photos for a high-res view:
