<div><font face="Goudy Old Style" size="4">I think species and moisture content
are what determine heat output. Pitch filled knots might add some BTU. And
that is about it for the wood end of things.</font></div>

<div><br></div>Still wondering about split versus non-split and if there is a
difference in the heat produced. Wood is wood is it not? Maybe the
burn temps are entirely dependent on the species, not the fact it is split or
not?<br><br>Sacie<br>
