Firewood For Heating – List of the Most Popular Wood for Burning
Awhile ago we conducted a reader poll asking what wood people burned in their stove for winter heating.
There’s quite a variety of wood species across the nation and chances are that you’re burning firewood that’s native to your region.

I’ve taken additional firewood varieties from the comments of that article to make a longer list. So I thought it would be fun to put out a poll to discover what firewood that people are using for heating in their wood stoves.
