Sweetgum for firewood??

I have heard that Sweetgum makes good firewood if properly seasoned (dried for one year). Just wanted to check to make sure this is true.
Thanks,

Ron


Answer

Ron,

Sweetgum is a decent firewood species. It has an average heating value, similar to that of birch. It can be difficult to split but other than that it won't give you any problems as long as it's adequately seasoned.
