Of all the various wood you burn, which type of wood produces the most ash for you? For me, it’s black locust, excellent firewood, but sheesh the ash builds up quick. What say you?
 
Maple for me.
Black locust without bark does not produce much ashes for me.
 
Yes, I am burning some soft maple now. It does produce more overnight coals, but a lot more ash than I normally deal with.
