When I moved to my property there were about 200 dead apple trees and when we installed a wood stove I wasn’t sure if Apple was a good firewood but for the last 4 years I have burned nothing but apple wood and I have came to love it it produces a even heat and a great long lasting bed of coals
I’m sitting on about 3/4 cord of apple that’s been cut/split/stacked and top covered for 19 months now. As far as burning in a wood stove goes, yes it throws a ton of heat, and walking outside I can definitely smell a nice aroma coming from my chimney. It does have decent coaling properties, although I wouldn’t quite compare it to elm, black locust or oak in that department. It’s kind of a low flame wood, and because of this I prefer to burn it mixed with other woods. It will produce a nice blue colored flame sometimes, so that combined with the smell makes it a winner around the holidays in my book. It can be a bear to hand split, which is why I own a hydraulic splitter 😎 If you buck the wood to length, the sooner you split it, the easier. As the rounds dry out it becomes exponentially harder to split.

Also smells wonderful
About time you made a video, lol, I enjoy watching your videos.
Haha, thanks. I confess, I was slow getting this one published :)

I just want it for using on my offset pit smoker. Awesome for Pork and other things!
dose it burn fast or slow?
