You forgot to post the pics.

google btu conversion chart. Most oaks run from 22.5 for red oak to 36.6 for live oak per cord. I couldn't find pin oak specifically but it should fall somewhere in that range.

Was it free?

No it wouldn't.

You want pine. Its lighter and easier to move.

 

[Cowboy254]

Why don't you cut it up and show us? To this point, I'm not sure that this warrants a new thread.

Seems you have one tree of every kind. Why not just ask, "Will Wood Burn".

If you don't want it, drop it off here. OWB likes it all, also burnt it in an indoor furnace and had no complaints. Bark looks too smooth and tight, do you have a leaf to show. Pin oak has a red oak shaped leaf but tighter to stem, deeper curve or sinus (believe it's what they call it).

No. Too many pin holes let the btu's escape.

I remember running onto some California Pepper which I cut up and sold. It was OK, but to me it did not smell great to me. I had to sell it cheap because every one asked how is it compared to Oak. So when possible concentrate on the real deal. Thanks

Around here, what is referred to as pin oak is actually willow oak....that's what it looks like to me.

It doesn't smell good to me when split and stacks terrible, but I got about a cord for free so that stuff is overlooked.

This was a load of pin oak. The bark is much ruffer then the stuff in your pics. Also some of the heaviest wood iv ever picked up.

 

[gunny100]

nice load of oak was it free

If I recall, Pin Oak is in the Red Oak group.

It could very well be. I'm not real sure how or what oaks are closest related. I'm just going on what I have heard and personal experience.
