Back East in the Deep South, Mock Orange contains the most energy (BTU's). It's seen as an annoyance weed tree/shrub, because it has thorns, that stab you as you try and trudge through dense vegetation, but if you get around to it, you can collect it & use it in your stove or fireplace.

Those meters work great to determine the dryness of firewood but only for the outer inch or so of the wood. It only takes a month or two to dry that part of the wood. You should always split a round and check the inner wood to know for certain that you are buying properly seasoned wood.

My guess is a hardwood like oak (more common on the east coast 😬). Great tips, and I agree that wood heating is unmatched, but also a great family experience. I noticed your fan is on the front of your stove. If you place it on the back it will push all that rising heat from your stove into the room. We overheated ours when it was placed on the front because it was sucking in all that hot air.

For highest BTU value I would venture to say Osage Orange or as some call it "Hedge apple". Here in Missouri when we cut it with a chainsaw, the chips are actually an orange tint or even a yellow color. It's a tough wood to cut with a chainsaw as well. A few of the old timers have said you don't want to use it in newer fireplaces as it will get them to hot. Using it on an outside fire (fire pit) it will definitely keep everyone around toasty warm!

If they say no, cross them off the list, and keep a list! If they say yes, ask them for a phone number (though this might make them mad, losing a potential job).

Highest BTU wood has got to be Osage orange, supposedly the best wood for making a good bow. What is your (anyone's) thoughts on using dried bamboo in a wood stove. It grows like a weed (almost a foot a week by me) and is green all year. When you kill it dries out extremely fast too. I've put it in fire pits and it burns hot and very fast, which is why I don't know if its any good in a wood stove.

I lived in S.E. Portland in the 70s & 80s, & being a Welder by trade, I built a Wood Stove like an "Eye-Ball Copy of an Oreley's. Basically a 1/4 Pl rolled into a tube, Window in front, Top Horizontal 6" Exhaust with big Baffle in front of the outlet, End-Loading 5/16 door. since it was ROUND, no Firebricks were needed to keep the welds from splitting. It burned very hot when wide open, would hold a fire for about 7 hrs, and my 20ft Air-Cooled Flue pipe, after 5 years, I swept it out till it was shiny & got barely 1/8 cup of Tan Dust. I doubt if any of these new square stoves (cheaper to make) would do that. I moved to Gresham in '92, & since the Ins. Co. wouldn't approve a long-proven stove (it's not U/L/ approved), I donated it to a missions group to the Ukraine. Still probably running.

Not sure if it's named the same around your neck of the woods but on the East Coast of Canada (Quebec), we call it "Iron wood". They don't grow very big and they are quite rare between the other hardwood species. The biggest I've seen was about 10 inches. When they eventually die off, they last extremely long on the ground without being punky. If I load my cast iron wood stove with iron wood, I better get a head start on opening the windows.

A basic woodcutter kit video would be great! I now have 3 different size axes (Been trying to find the right length) and bought a chainsaw a few years back, but it has always leaked the chain oil and I'm sure it's because I got the cheapest chainsaw out there. No amount of cleaning it up after each use or taking care of it has helped. Thanks for all your content!

setting you saw on it's side might help, if you are not already doing that. Some may not know that is why it has the handle extended to the side. chainsaw oil might also help. and some saws have a wick feeding oil to the blade, that might be missing on your saw. Hope some of this helps. I am by no means an expert but was a wood yard helper in my younger days.

A kit like that would be great, maybe even like a small 18v makita chainsaw seeing as the wood needs to be smaller more manageable pieces for the confined space of a wood stove

I swear as soon as i own a home or cabin by the looks of the future, the wood stove is going first. I'll probably go catalytic as well. I love how they work and burn super hot.

I didn't look and I'm guessing, oak. Also I'd like to see that video on the kit you talked about. Thanks for another great video Cody.

Hi Cody,a couple of years back you mentioned you were going to do a video on how to put out a chimney fire but I don't think you ever got around to it.

we use a lot of Coal Stoves around here & growing up we always used cooloil/Kerosene to start fires with good dry ceder/pine it works like a charm..but Coal stoves are made to stand very high temps probaly double a plain wood stove if not triple the temp..i remember seeing the old coal stove glowing cherry red a fuw times growing up here in the south with an old box type house n cracks n the wall so big snow would blow in and we had to tie a rope to the house to the barn to get their to feed & milk ..lol. !& i would say probably pine has the most btu's..its very hot & Fast
