  • That shot behind you and your pops sat down eating good food and enjoying nature hit me emotionally. The time we spend with our parents is so precious. You two have a great relationship, and a couple of hearts of gold. Loving the content Mike.

  • Great experiment. It's interesting because ash and oak are the last of the trees to produce leaves in the spring, hence the saying... Ash before Oak in for a soak, oak before ash in for a splash. Meaning if ash leaves open before Oak it'll be a wet summer but if oak leaves open first it'll be a relatively dry summer. Enjoyable watch, thanks

  • When I lived in Missouri,USA, we burned oak. If you were smart you would stack a few cords of stove length(16”) for a couple of years and burn that during the day and have some green to “bank” the fire at night. Make sure there were a thick bed of red hot coals to put the green oak on. With any luck and a stove that seals well to let the night wood burn slow, the fire and heat would last most of the night. Great test and as always great to see dear old Dad! Hi Graeme.

  • I prefer Ash over Oak. The reason why there still was oak left, is because i didn't burn well... it smoked the most as well. Oak might be better in a stove and/or mixed with other wood.This is also my experience when i worked at a woodworker where we built furniture and heated the workshop with wood. Awesome experiment though. I am kinda jealous you have a woodland to have 8 campfires burning and having a good time with your dad! I love it

  • My uncle owns a sawmill and thus it generates slabs with bark on it. He would keep as much oak slab for himself for burning all winter, then various pieces of bark and sawdust for kindling, likely a bit of pine, birch, or willow to supplement the kindling (I think birch or willow when it was an indoor furnace as less issues with the resin in the smoke). No real surprises for me that pine & willow were a close run

  • Hi guys, I think oak will last the longest. Although pine will burn pretty hot. We live in Cyprus and you thinking it's hot here, it is in the summer months, but we live in the mountains and we depend on wood for warmth for the winter season. Love the videos keep up the great work you both do very well in what you both do.

  • OK, at 3:42, I'd say the Ash will burn hottest and the Beech or Oak the longest. But it may not be that simple. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pine hits the highest temperature, but only briefly, whereas the Ash will sustain a decent hot burn until it's nearly done. I say this because the Pine is likely to be the most resinous, producing a hot flare but not sustaining it. I hope you'll be taking temperatures several times, and not just once for each. Depending on the wind direction, some fire piles may be in the lee of others, or surrounding objects. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh well, I was surprised at the Silver Birch. I didn't think that would last long. As you said, the Beech didn't have a fair shot. I have found it to be an excellent burning wood. I spent a winter with a wood burning stove at around 330 metres in the Pennines (cold!). I found Beech was the stuff to keep the fire in overnight. There wasn't much of it, but a Beech log, split just in two, on very low air, would do the trick. Oak might have done the same, but I didn't have any. The "wisdom" was that the fire wouldn't stay in overnight with wood, only coke would do that, but I found Beech would.

  • We have, on family land in North West Pennsylvania, Red and White Amereican Oak, Black Cherry, Sugar and Hard Maples, Silver and White Birch, Ash, and Beech for firewood choice. (naturally downed trees only) White Oak seems to be our family favorite for heat and duration. Red Oak and Beech come in a tied close second. We don't burn much Birch, but it's definitely a dense, long burning wood. We also have pines, hemlock, American Poplar, Locust, etc. that we'll saw lumber out of. Locust is used mostly for in ground posts. Some springs, we'll tap a few sugar Maples and make syrup. I know I'm forgetting more than a few species. Mostly because we don't have a use for them. We also have Quaking Aspen (absolute garbage wood) I'd like to see a video on ease of hand splitting on equal diameter and length sections of different woods. White Oak is a bear, so stringy. Ash is a dream.
