HARDWOOD VS SOFTWOOD

[GVA]

Do you guys work during the day? :lol:
The charts are all screwed up if you crunch the numbers.
The 2 sites have different btu #s due to different MC
but on pooks site he is crunching the lower #s
which are
spruce 19mil btu 1960 lbs =9694btu per pound
white oak 26.4 mil btu 2880 lbs =9167btu per pound
pon pine 19.3 mil btu 1960 lbs =9847btu per pound

I know it's not true values but rough estimates

Now when you crunch the high side #s (btu's and CF per cord) they seem abit more realistic
spruce 21.7 milbtu 2 2520 lbs=8611btu per lb
white oak 28mil btu at 3710 lbs= 7547btu per pound
pon pine 21.7mil @ 2570lbs8443btu per pound
doug fir 26.5 mil @3075lbs =8617 btu per pound

so fudge the #s however you want they are different for every site
the other site at a higher mc has oak being higher btu per pound so go figure
can't we all agree to disagree?
:cheese:

.....can't we all agree to disagree?
:cheese:

I'm as interested as the next guy about BTU output from pellets, but I'll "agree" that this thread needs to be closed....talk about beating something to death! :roll:

Who'd a thunk there would be such drama in a pellet stove forum?

An explanation to why maybe I didn't see much difference between the pine pellets manufactured locally and the hardwood pellets that I'm burning now.

I want to get some Cubex and some Juanita's(both rated at 9000 BTU's) and Throw them head to head against the Okanagans 0(8800 BTU's)and Spruce points!(8700 BTU's)

Just to see!

the difference you see (if any) will be minimal.

I know that already, But there are others(yankees as BTU call's them) That just don't get it!

"I burn hardwood in my woodstove so I have to burn hardwood in my pellet stove." I aim to convert one of my friends. I will beat him with some numbers! (Or a damn stick if need be)
