If you've ever worked with hedge ( making a bow or anything pretty much) you'd believe this story. One of the most dense and resilient woods out there. Awesome firewood tooTo show how resilient Hedge is, this photo was taken in Joplin Missouri. This tree was centered by the EF5 Tornado that struck a couple of years back. Was reported to be the only thing left standing in that area.View attachment 152881
As hard as hedge is it doesn't even make honorable mention in the top 15 hardest woods. All of the 15 hardest woods will not float in water and weight over 62# per cubic foot!If you've ever worked with hedge ( making a bow or anything pretty much) you'd believe this story.

The sparks alone will probably burn your house down. Every time I've burned hedge, I'll let it burn down to coals, and open the door for a reload... CRACK! Face full of hot sparks.you're not gonna' like leaving the stove door ajar
I don't think hedge burns any hotter than any other wood, it just has more BTU,s per cord because of weight. I see people comparing it to coal and maybe in terms of burn time yea. But if they are saying it burns too hot for a wood stove then do they make coal stoves out of a different grade of metal?Hedge burns like coal. I spotted 5 or 6 large hedge trees in my neighbor's timber and asked if I could take them off his hands. He told me no and that I would ruin my stove. A lot of old timers around where I live have ruined many a stove by over firing with Hedge. It can get get flippin' hot if you are not careful.
