What Tree is this and is worth chopping for firewood?

[Brad Molden]

Hello-

I attached pictures of two trees that fell in my driveway. I cut them up to remove them so people can get in and out. But, I was wondering what trees they are and if they were worth chopping up for firewood next fall? I live in the southeastern part of Connecticut, US.

Thanks,
Brad

Red Pine. Good campfire wood.

Thanks! Is it good for a wood burning stove that goes up a chimney?

You could use it as kindling to start your fire but I wouldn't load the stove with it.

Scotch pine. Just took one down next to my house, but it's too wet to burn yet.

Thanks again. One last question.... Can you tell me what tree the attached pics are? Im about to cut it down and was wondering if it is good for firewood in a wood burning stove.

Thanks

This ^^^

The bigger stuff might be good in a burn pit assuming it doesn't rott to mush by next fall..if it where me I'd pile it and burn it where it falls.

Norway (red) Pine. The rounds in the first picture are too rotten to mess with but the full tree in the second picture looks solid.

This is one of the best species of pine for heat, the btu rating is equal to black ash and above lower end hardwoods like silver maple.

And if anyone tells you that pine shouldn't be burned in a wood stove or fireplace because it will cause chimney fires, they are full of bunk.

Second set of pictures looks to be either Maple or Box Elder. Hard to tell from those pics. Good firewood.

The pic of the bark reminds me of hackberry.

I think that's maple but not 100 percent sure.

the second set of pictures the tree is in the shade so its hard to tell but the last pic looks like either siberian elm or american elm. pull off a small piece of the bark. if it has alternating layers of creamy white and redish-brown, then its american elm.
