I come across grey birch now and again on the woodlot. I always cut it for firewood because I put it right up there with pin cherry or alders, I want very little of it to grow.  ffcheesy I find it heavier than white birch. Do well to get one 8" dbh though.

Quote from: cutterboy on March 24, 2025, 07:23:22 AMBlack birch is one of my very favorite firewoods. It has about the same density as red oak and is the best smelling of all with a nice minty smell.
Black Birch beats Red Oak for BTU content by about 10%. It's right p there with White Oak.
