Best firwood you can get
Can you give me your reasoning for this. All firewood will burn when dry, dealers like ash because it has a very low moisture content when growing (in relation to other hardwoods) and therefore it can be sold very soon after felling.
Oak and Beech give off a higher heat when dry but you need to leave Beech for a year minimum and Oak for two years to get maximum benefit. I would sell Beech and Oak all the time if I could get a faster return on it but when you can buy ash, sycamore, birch etc which you can fell in January and sell (dry <25%mc) in September it makes far more sense
