have you guys ever burnt linden. I'm actually liking the way it burns. Gives of plenty of heat although it's a softer wood so doesn't last long
Thing is: cutting, splitting, and stacking low BTU wood is just as much work as doing the same for high value wood.
OK, so you can get something less valuable for less effort. This is Econ101. If something is worth more, you pay more. Aspen is lighter than oak because it has less stored energy. To me the difference in time and effort is trivial but the difference in value is not. I am not going to waste my time getting in a load of basswood or aspen as long as there's something better to be had.I hear that often, and I disagree. Low BTU wood is generally a lot lighter and splits with an easy whack of the maul/ax. I took on a whole Aspen trunk and was done with it in a fraction of the time, and with a helluva lot less effort, than when I work on an oak.
