I need to find a type of tree to plant that will give me good quality
firewood in a short amount of time. Someone mentioned Poplar to me.
Does
anyone have any recommendations?



Well normally I would not say that was possible but I had a Chinese
Tallow
removed and asked the guy taking it down to cut it into pieces 18 to 20
inches long and put them in my fire wood rack. He asked if I was going
to
burn it and indicated that it did not burn well in a fire place. I told
him
that I wanted to turn the wood. Well 8 months later winter is here and
I
burned it. I was pleasantly surprised that 8 to 10 inch diameter non
split
logs were dried enough to burn and would burn for about 2 hours each and
put
out quite a bit of heat. This tree is a very fast grower.

I know nothing about Chinese Tallow, but what you found is
that talking about wood and wood stoves is about the same as
the arguments you get when talking about Ford, Chevy, GMC,
and Dodge. Much of what people tell you is highly biased
and may be based on one rather exceptional experience.

The only thing that is important is that the wood be dry and
some take a long time to dry.

George - please ignore my other reply to you. I do believe I completely
missed you point. I knew I heard this buzzing sound over my head...
