First of all, they left out the best pellet stove on the market. Comfortbilt. This year i have 3 lifts of pellets for under1K to heat the house for all season right to May if needed. That is cheap in my books!! Also have a battery back up if power goes down so no issue of no heat ever it is also solar powered generator. I have had wood in the past and must say pellet stove is much more convenient with less mess and ease of operation and possibly cheaper to run than most wood stoves except something like a Blaze King now that is a wood stove. I am located in Ontario Canada under 1K for heating season in total is cheap and have hade this pellet stove for 4 years now with no issues love it 🙂

Where would you store hundreds of bags of pellets. Not to mention the price. Cord wood is more efficient, more cost effective and the wood can be stored outdoors.

Almond wood will out burn all of these.

I burn all my cardboard boxes to cut down on trash volume. Are there any good uses for cardboard ash?

I have a Harmen pc45 and love it. Thanks good video

You haven’t mentioned Rocket Mass Heater’s or pellet stoves that do not need electrical power. Liberator stove is UL listed.

Great….if cost of pellets is no issue ? !

only grid dependant if you use mains power..get a manual unit.

Good info, no bullshit I like it.

In 2021 I purchased a house with electric baseboard heat and no furnace. It has a wood burning stove in the center of the home and we use it every day during the cold months. Most people are shocked by the fact that we only heat with wood. We have had some power outages and never had a problem. Yes it is a little bit of work every day to clean and re-start, but our electric bill is $40 a month ($7 for actual use the rest is taxes and fees). Ho! by the way I'm 72 and I cut, split, stack and use 7 cords of firewood each season.

No mention of black walnut? It’s good wood but takes along time, 2 to 3+years to dry out. Burns hot and lasts along time. I like to mix ash, basswood and ironwood , red elm, locust, hickory or any fruit wood. I use some cedar when handy. Hickory and oak is good too. 2 to 2 1/2 cord per season. Even heat is much nicer than forced air propane furnaces. From southwest Iowa

Hedge apple/Osage orange

Showing a woman using a chainsaw above her head, with no protective gear at all negates any of this show and tell. For those of us who heat 100% with self harvested firewood for decades one needs to use the species in their region. Period. Sorry this has some valuable info...BUTT !

Ash will seal cracks in your wood stove too. Mix with water to make a paste. The crack will be sealed forever

Black birch / sweet birch is a damn good burning wood. right up there with oak, ash, beech, locust and cherry.

I think I just saw bucking Billy Split and wood. On on this video.😅

I’d love to hear your thoughts on “mica” heaters

Mulberry is s dense hardwood that puts off a lot of heat.

California resident who burns whatever wood i can get and eucalyptus burns hot and long from my room temperature IQ experience. 😊

My Troy bill looks the same with Honda motor. I split in the vertical position to sit on a log and roll a bunch more next to me

Bought my fireplace insert 15 years ago. Best home investment I ever made! Still have original bricks. Only burn oak from my property. I use a low speed fan to move air to the whole house

I put up a cord of wood mid-August this year, it was fresh cut from logs that had been down for a year. Been off the ground, lightly covered, since Sept 1st... no rain since then, ... oak, maple, ash and a little apple and walnut. I am planning to burn 1 piece of that wood with 3 pieces of wood that's 9 to 24 months seasoned

Heat with wood, exclusively pine. We had the pine bark beetle go through here a couple decades ago. Standing dead pine everywhere so do not have to season very long. Most of our towns have wood heating regs which require an afterburner. Lowers particulate in the air. Rurally we do what we want.

But firewood heats you several times, cutting the trees, cutting up the trees, disposing the slash, hauling, splitting and stacking the firewood, hauling the wood into the house, hauling the ash out. But then there is the cost of the chainsaw, the pickup to haul the wood, the cost of replacing the rear cab window of the truck which was broken when pitching firewood into the bed, the cost of the chimney swift .and of course the cost of the divorce and the lawyer.

Interesting video, Thank you!

Grazie della spiegazione chiara ,finalmente ho trovato la risposta che cercavo,grazie!

what about aspen? It's like the most widely available wood in my woods. it's a fast growing soft wood each tree can live up to 50 years or until the wind blows it over. I have so many to clean up throughout my woods so it's my primary wood to burn. It's also called popple, probably cause it snap, crackles, and pops more than other woods as it burns.

HOW SMART IS EVERYONE CAUSE IVE BEEN AROUND FIREWOOD FOR OVER 40 YRS NOW AN I CAN TELL YOU ON AN AVERAGE THERE IS 286 PIECES OF WOOD IN A 2X4X8 RICK OF WOOD HOW MANY KNEW THAT I KNOW A GUY THAT MAKES $160.00 A RICK AN IN CHICAGO A 4X4 OF CHEERY SELLS $100.00 ALL RITZY PEOPLE BUY IT FOR FIRE PLACE FOR THANKSGIVING AN CHRISTMAS ......

soak your wood for three years in 10w30 motor oil. burns good

free wood is the best other than that if you can find it osage orange its best.

Nothing compares to Osage Orange. I have cut it and burned it for 50 yrs. Had to stop using cast iron stoves as it would warp them. Made my own 3/8th inch steel stove with angle iron buttresses. Warped it as well. Now I have a soap stone stove. Not only the highest BTU wood but also the heaviest wood. You can also burn it as soon as you cut it. I had cut a 40" diameter trunk and left it whole to come back to get it later. Someone started a fire on it. Like coal, once it starts on fire, you're not going to put it out. Easy to split when green. Full chisel chain on a Stihl Farm Boss .041, also 50 yrs old. Has to burn in a stove as it is a sparkling wood. Even in a stove, you have to be careful when reloading a fire as a sudden rush of air will start it spraying embers. Oak is a joke. Black Locust was much better. But nothing equals Osage. I have wood cut and stacked that is 40 yrs old and it never rots. With farmers no longer planting hedge rows, I hate to cut it. The one drawback...lots of ash.

I think they know what they're talking about on the instructions than you do

What about ash

I’m not burning pine indoors sorry.

Hottest burning or greatest btu value? Pine slabwood is the hottest fire in a maple evaporator.

Just get some ferrets. Rats and mice will stay well clear.

You guys imported the best wood and this video ignored it. Australian Eucalyptus burns up to 34Mil BTU and you have lots of it in California.

My dad use to tell me stories of burning hedge. It was ok would burn so hot that the heating pipes in his trailer would glow white. Taking them to near molten temperatures. Definitely not something that should be used lightly. As for locust on this list yep it’s dense but the short rose like thorns make it very undesirable to work with

Osage orange 🔥

This is my 51st year heating my homes with ONLY wood. I've found red and white oak ,seasoned for 2 full years excellent. Ash types also burn long and hot. But starting with lesser hardwoods and even some soft varieties make "getting it going" much easier. Biggest mistake people do burning wood are as follows. Too large a diameter chimney flue. Too short a chimney,causing poor draft. And finally 2 very important issues. One-- burning unseasoned wood with water +sap content high. Two not using creosote remover / preventer often enough. Both those lead to dangerous conditions Burn safe and learn for a year or two before going wood ONLY. Be safe not sorry.

Tamarack is probably the hottest but dont last long.had a stove almost melt down once with that..😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

We went with a soapstone woodstove (highest rated by EPA) for heat during the really cold months, and mini-split heat pumps for heat in the shoulder seasons and air conditioning in the summer. The best of all worlds.

Locust is actually a weed

$1200 to fill our 500 gallon tank. Like you, it lasts about 90 days roughly.

Excellent advice! I never even thought about some of what you recommended.

lots of good comments here; for me, there are hotter burning woods available, but black cherry checks off all the boxes. I love it.

I love the smell of black cherry burning

Any truth to the claim that ash will burn immediately after cutting as if seasoned ?? Seems to be true to me but wanted ur opinion
