The fact remains that fresh cut green Ash has much less moisture content than just about any other fresh cut green wood. So if you are desperate and have only fresh cut green wood to burn Ash is best.
Not true, according to the U of NE firewood chart I have, and a little math applied to figure green moisture content. Hedge, Doug Fir, and Red Cedar are lowest, under 30% moisture by weight green, Green Ash (the only ash variety on the chart) is pretty middle of the road at 45%, and some of the sponges are Cottonwood, Buckeye, and Basswood at over 60%.
If someone wants to see it, I'll post the sheet I made up to figure this out.
