Cedar wood ???

Is Cedar good as firewood?

I always thought not, as I was told this once upon a time.

 

The question really is: Is Cedar good enough to sell?

Thanks.

I don't see why it wouldn't be good to burn. As for value, it rather depends what form it's in and how much of it you have. By the way, what sort of cedar is it?

[easy-lift guy]

Red or White Cedar sells well around these parts when you can get it. I have always enjoyed the kaleidoscope appearance of the flames

Most definitely YES. Currently burning some Western Red both split logs and in the round, seasoned for a year it burns really hot - puts the Ironheart oven temp off the scale. Downside it leaves nothing but fine powder ash in the morning so nothing to re-light from unless I add a bit of beach before shutting down in the evening.

i've been burning true cedar (cedrus) here and find it to be and excellent firewood. burns hot and doesn't leave much ash...

 

i can put it on at night for shutdown and it's still smoldering in the morning...

 

 

needs to be good and dry...

There's going to be a lot of 6ft lengths of it Clive.

It's in Reigate in January if you want it.

If some of it needs homing Al give me a call. The missus loves to keep it next to the burner for a couple of days before burning it to get the pong from the oils.
