[Greenbuilding] heating values of different species of wood

[Sacie Lambertson]

Reuben, this is a wonderfully interest table, particularly so at this time
of the year when we are burning wood.

The heat value of particular species bears out our observation that the
Osage Orange we prefer to burn produces among the highest heat among the
woods.  Interesting that Pinion Pine which doesn't grow in Kansas, burns the
hottest of all.

What is the difference between heat value and recoverable heat value?

Wonder why the values of some species aren't included in the table (probably
not measured?)

Thanks for sharing,  Sacie
