Poplar .. AIE Firewood guide

[Dean Lofthouse]

Do you not find it a bit stingy mate??

 

Only the big rings (but I dont like big rings ), they seem to split better when wet.

I've got a load of Pops to drop in couple of weeks, so far havent been able to give it away, let alone sell it.

I wonder if the authors have tried all those woods, I burn Sweet Chestnut often and it burns a treat. I have a closed stove, but have found that if the wood is split down the middle and then well seasoned it doesn't spit much anyway.

 

I also leaves hardly any ash.

Still find it hard to believe you can burn holly green, but you obviously know what your talking about. you live & learn

Pleasantly surprised how well a bit of 2 year old poplar burnt on my open fire. Might take the digger and drop and stack a few dozen trees that we left last year cause we didn't think it would be any good.

 

I`m doing another test burn on some poplar that I have got down to about 15% and it definitely warrants a
