Seasoning wood

[smok'n steve]

See the enclosed link, I also copied the sentence below from the link:-)

"Energy content is measured in British Thermal Units, better known as BTU's. Different types of firewood all have the same amount of BTU's per pound, but since they are not all equally dense, they vary considerably in the amount of BTU's available per cord."

I suppose a good expieriment would be get a couple pounds of oak/hickory and a couple pounds of pine light them the same way and take a temp when the flames are the same hieght and equivilent.

Not that Id ever burn pine for smoking, but, I enjoy burning wood. wheather it is at a bonfire/party or to cook with. I find this statement intriging.
