It is commonly used for smoking and cooking purposes. Cherry is hardwood but it does not perform as well as oak, beech or black locust due to its&nbsp;low heat output. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Cherry trees grow in USDA zone 5 to 9. They&#8217;re not drought tolerant and they grow best in well-drained soil with lots of sunshine. Moreover, they&#8217;re often grown as landscape trees due to their beautiful blossoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry produces high-quality lumber which is used for furniture, cabinets, and flooring. The wood has reddish-brown color throughout its sapwood and hardwood which makes it different from other hardwood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662c75f405782\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662c75f405782\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#burn_qualities_of_cherry_firewood\" title=\"Burn Qualities of Cherry Firewood\">Burn Qualities of Cherry Firewood<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#heat_output\" title=\"Heat Output\">Heat Output<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#smoke\" title=\"Smoke\">Smoke<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#creosote\" title=\"Creosote\">Creosote<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#spark\" title=\"Spark\">Spark<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#smell\" title=\"Smell&nbsp;\">Smell&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#coals\" title=\"Coals\">Coals<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#sap\" title=\"Sap\">Sap<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#splitting\" title=\"Splitting\">Splitting<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#comparing_cherry_firewood_to_others\" title=\"Comparing Cherry Firewood to Others\">Comparing Cherry Firewood to Others<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#how_long_to_season_cherry_firewood\" title=\"How Long to Season Cherry Firewood?\">How Long to Season Cherry Firewood?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-12\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#identifying_cherry_trees\" title=\"Identifying Cherry Trees\">Identifying Cherry Trees<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-13\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#leaves\" title=\"Leaves\">Leaves<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-14\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/cherry-firewood\/#bark\" title=\"Bark\">Bark<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"burn_qualities_of_cherry_firewood\"><\/span>Burn Qualities of Cherry Firewood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry is average to good firewood. It has a <strong>moderate heat output of 20.4 million BTU per cord.<\/strong> This heat output is in the middle of top performers (Black Locust 29.8) and worst ones (E. Red Cedar 13). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than heat output, cherry has a good set of&nbsp;characteristics&nbsp;in terms of coal quality, smoke, creosote, sparks, and excellent aroma. It is also easy to split and does not take too long to season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>BTU:<\/strong>&nbsp;20.4 (Million BTUs)&nbsp;per Cord&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Weight:&nbsp;<\/strong>2928&nbsp;lbs. per Cord, Dry<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Seasoning Time:<\/strong>&nbsp;8-10 months<\/li><li><strong>Resin \/ Sap Content:<\/strong>&nbsp;Low<\/li><li><strong>Splitting Difficulty:<\/strong>&nbsp;Easy<\/li><li><strong>Smoke:<\/strong>&nbsp;Low<\/li><li><strong>Smell:<\/strong>&nbsp;Pleasant, Fruity<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"heat_output\"><\/span>Heat Output<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, cherry does not produce heat comparable to the hottest burning firewoods; it falls in the middle. The burn quality is sufficient for most, especially when you can easily obtain Cherry. In my opinion, however, it&#8217;s not worth going out of your way to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its unique smell makes it preferable for campfires and equally enjoyable for indoors. In this context, it can be placed alongside oak and hickory. Moreover, if you&#8217;ve spent any time smoking meats, you&#8217;ll know that Cherry is commonly used for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"smoke\"><\/span>Smoke<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry gives off&nbsp;very low&nbsp;smoke. You can burn it safely indoors. However, if wet or unseasoned, it can create a lot of smoke. So, be sure to properly season your firewood before burning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"creosote\"><\/span>Creosote<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry has&nbsp;low&nbsp;sap content and if seasoned properly, it produces little creosote. All firewood produces creosote,  however, hardwoods produce a relatively low amount of it, compared to softwoods with high sap levels. Still, remember to clean your chimney often to avoid chimney-related fire hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"spark\"><\/span>Spark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry gives off&nbsp;very few&nbsp;sparks which make it safe for indoor use. Sparks can worsen your firewood experience, causing house fires and also wildfire in an open areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If wood is wet it produces more sparks compared to dry wood because at high temperatures, moisture can cause wood to pop and throw embers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"smell\"><\/span>Smell&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry has a&nbsp;very appealing&nbsp;smell which is perhaps the&nbsp;leading characteristic&nbsp;of this wood. It gives off a rich fruity smell and is often used to smoke and barbecue food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"coals\"><\/span>Coals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry produces&nbsp;good coals&nbsp;which burn for a long time. Although it does not compete with oak or black locust, it still does pretty well. You can rely on it for your wake time. Unseasoned or wet wood does not produce good coals and they burn out fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"sap\"><\/span>Sap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry has&nbsp;low&nbsp;levels of sap. This is one the best qualities of burning it in your stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"splitting\"><\/span>Splitting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry is\u00a0fairly easy to split, comparatively speaking. You can easily split it with an axe or splitting maul. A hydraulic woodsplitter, however, is preferable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/best-splitting-axe-for-the-money\/\">Best Axe for Splitting Firewood<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"comparing_cherry_firewood_to_others\"><\/span>Comparing Cherry Firewood to Others<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry is good firewood and performs better than average. It lags only in the heat output. Otherwise, the rest of the properties bring it on par with excellent firewood species. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its peculiarity lies in its fragrance which adds an exotic touch to the firewood experience. Splitting isn&#8217;t bad, it seasons fast, and burning it is an enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Species<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Weight (lbs.\/Cord) Dry<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Heat per Cord (Million BTUs)<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Osage-orange<\/td><td>4728<\/td><td>32.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Black Locust<\/td><td>4016<\/td><td>29.8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pecan<\/td><td>4500<\/td><td>28.5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Beech<\/td><td>3760<\/td><td>27.5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Walnut, Black<\/td><td>3192<\/td><td>22.2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sweetgum<\/td><td>2592<\/td><td>21.3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cherry<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>2928<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>20.4<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Elm, American<\/td><td>2872<\/td><td>20.0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pine, Ponderosa<\/td><td>2336<\/td><td>16.2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pine, White<\/td><td>2250<\/td><td>15.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fir, White<\/td><td>2104<\/td><td>14.6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Redcedar, Eastern<\/td><td>2060<\/td><td>13.0&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_long_to_season_cherry_firewood\"><\/span>How Long to Season Cherry Firewood?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes roughly&nbsp;<strong>6 to 8 months&nbsp;to fully season<\/strong> under optimal conditions. Seasoning firewood brings out the real potential of any firewood. If wood is not dried fully, you get an awful experience, even with the finest wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seasoning time can vary with the external conditions. In hot and less humid states the drying process is faster as compared to cold areas. You also need to stack the wood properly in the rows and leave space between the rows for air passage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose an open area, away from a fence and shade with a lot of sunshine and air. Kiln drying delivers a better experience and thoroughly dried firewood in very little time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"identifying_cherry_trees\"><\/span>Identifying Cherry Trees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry is a deciduous tree from the&nbsp;genus&nbsp;<em>Prunus<\/em>&nbsp;and family&nbsp;<em>Rosaceae<\/em>. Its fruits are called&nbsp;<em>drupe<\/em>. Cherry trees grow in USDA zones 5 to 9 and it usually blooms in spring between mid-March and mid-April and is commonly used as a low maintenance landscape tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several different varieties, some of which can even be grown in a container. <strong>The most common variety is black cherry which is found through eastern and Central United States<\/strong>. They can grow between 50 to 80 feet in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cherry tree is known for its fragrant blooms in the spring season which later produce red berries, eaten by birds, animals, and humans. Contrary to popular belief, not all varieties produce edible cherries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"leaves\"><\/span>Leaves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaves of cherry trees have a dark green color with an oval shape and pointed tips.
