Heat Energy Comparison by Hardwood Type (kWh per kg)
Compare the average heat energy output of popular kiln dried hardwoods. All figures assume properly seasoned or kiln dried wood with moisture content below 20%.
| Hardwood Species | Heat Output (kWh/kg) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Beech | 4.3 – 4.5 | Dense, long-lasting burn, low smoke – excellent firewood |
| Ash | 4.1 – 4.3 | Burns well even when slightly green; very popular choice |
| Oak | 4.2 – 4.6 | Very high energy; long burn time but needs proper seasoning |
| Birch | 4.1 – 4.3 | Quick to ignite, gives strong heat, burns slightly faster |
| Hornbeam | 4.3 – 4.5 | Dense like beech; produces strong, steady heat |
| Cherry | 4.0 – 4.2 | Pleasant aroma and clean flame; medium burn time |
| Maple | 4.0 – 4.2 | Clean burning hardwood with moderate density |
| Sycamore | 4.0 – 4.2 | Easy to split and handle, provides moderate heat |
| Elm | 4.0 – 4.2 | Dense but tricky to split, burns hot when well-seasoned |
| Alder | 3.8 – 4.0 | Lights easily, burns fast – great for kindling |
| Willow | 3.7 – 3.9 | Light wood, lower energy output, burns quickly |
Tip: For best performance, always use kiln dried logs under 20% moisture. They deliver maximum heat efficiency and minimal smoke for stoves, burners, and open fires.
