oak, your opinion please!!

I was always under the impression Ash was far superior to Oak, so shouldn't that fetch a higher price ?

 

Or is Ash preferred because it is easier to cut, split and stack ?

 

My former boss wouldn't have anything else, which suited me fine.

I think its real appeal is its low MC when green, so will burn straight from the tree (although not advised)

I find ash burns even faster than beech and leaves no bottom in the stove ?
