Hornbeam as firewood

[cessna]

We are splitting  hornbeam into 1.2 mt lengths ready  to sell as firewood next season 2020/21.  Does hornbeam burn ok ,as long as it has been seasoned?/

Yep! It's not great, but it's not Poplar either

Never had any to try myself but have heard its excellent stuff. Similar to beech I believe?

One of the best heat output per ton of any wood once sufficiently dry.

Best uk firewood.
Most calorific.
Better than oak,beech etc.
And dries pretty quickly if from coppice.
