My Favorite is chimney sweep, but these pretty much cover 99% of what you'll ever come across. I'm trying to find one specific for fruit trees. I have a copy of some very good specie that are in the top ten highest BTU rating.

Extremely nice Sprinter, we may not agree on some things Sprinter, but you sure do have that search button down pat, how about helping us find that darn LIKE button.

 This is an interesting thread, was surprised at some of the different ratings. Never knew that birch was so high up there, I have been ignoring quite a few large birches that will be treated differently after this read.

Yah, good stuff, hard on saws though. I did see a chart at an auction that listed it and under comments it said " cut and split green or forget it".
