Red maple (Acer Rebrum<\/em><\/a>) gets its name from its appearance; its leaves, twigs, barks, and seeds are all red to varying degrees, making it a distinguishable tree in any landscape. Red maple is more common on the eastern coast of the United States and the central US but is considered one of the most abundant species that is native to North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing as it is so common, is it worth using as firewood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red maple is good quality firewood, with a high BTU generation of 23.2 million per cord\u2013 just slightly below oak. It can burn for a long time due to its quality coals and high density. As a downside, red maple\u2019s high sap content can cause creosote to build up in chimneys. Though if you use it as campfire wood then that won\u2019t be an issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
