It belongs to the Maple family but has some differences. Boxelder is a low-density hardwood and has softwood-like properties. It burns fast and gives high heat but for only a short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly nothing to turn away, especially if you can get it for free. Boxelder finds its preferable use in making bowls, art sculptures, and furniture. Its wood has red streaks which gives it a beautiful appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While still green it is heavy but after seasoning, it loses a lot of moisture and gets very light. It is not reliable for long nights so it is advised to mix it with high-density hardwood like oak or beech to get a long-lasting fire.&nbsp;<\/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-662c8c0eadd68\" 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-662c8c0eadd68\" 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\/boxelder-firewood\/#burn_qualities_of_boxelder_firewood\" title=\"Burn Qualities of Boxelder Firewood\">Burn Qualities of Boxelder Firewood<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/boxelder-firewood\/#heat_output\" title=\"Heat Output\">Heat Output<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/boxelder-firewood\/#smoke_creosote\" title=\"Smoke &amp; Creosote&nbsp;\">Smoke &amp; Creosote&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/boxelder-firewood\/#spark\" title=\"Spark\">Spark<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/boxelder-firewood\/#smell\" title=\"Smell&nbsp;\">Smell&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/boxelder-firewood\/#coals\" title=\"Coals\">Coals<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/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\/boxelder-firewood\/#splitting_boxelder_firewood\" title=\"Splitting Boxelder Firewood\">Splitting Boxelder Firewood<\/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\/boxelder-firewood\/#comparing_boxelder_to_other_firewood\" title=\"Comparing Boxelder to Other Firewood\">Comparing Boxelder to Other Firewood<\/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\/boxelder-firewood\/#how_long_to_season_boxelder_firewood\" title=\"How Long to Season Boxelder Firewood?\">How Long to Season Boxelder Firewood?<\/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\/boxelder-firewood\/#identifying_boxelder_trees\" title=\"Identifying Boxelder Trees\">Identifying Boxelder Trees<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/boxelder-firewood\/#leaves\" title=\"Leaves\">Leaves<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-12\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/boxelder-firewood\/#bark\" title=\"Bark\">Bark<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"burn_qualities_of_boxelder_firewood\"><\/span>Burn Qualities of Boxelder Firewood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BTU:<\/strong>&nbsp;18.3 million BTUs per cord<br><strong>Weight:<\/strong>&nbsp;2632 lbs. per cord (Dry)<br><strong>Seasoning Time:<\/strong>&nbsp;About 8 months<br><strong>Splitting Difficulty:<\/strong>&nbsp;Easy to medium<br><strong>Smoke:<\/strong>&nbsp;Low<br><strong>Smell:&nbsp;<\/strong>Bad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boxelder has a <strong>BTU rating of 18.3<\/strong> which is low compared to firewood like Beech or Pecan. It does, however, have a great kindling property and can serve as a starter. Because it burns out fast, you may end up replenishing your stove more often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It gives a foul smell, especially if it is wet. You can often find this firewood for free as it&#8217;s considered a nuisance tree due to boxelder bugs. Its wood is soft and tends to break easily with the wind. Having said that, it&#8217;s worth hauling home if you&#8217;re able to get it for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"heat_output\"><\/span>Heat Output<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boxelder has a below-average BTU but it burns fast and gives high heat in the meantime. Overall heat production per cord volume is low. One cord burns to give 18.3 million BTUs whereas some high-density hardwood outputs up to 30 million BTUs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"smoke_creosote\"><\/span>Smoke &amp; Creosote&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fully seasoned firewood doesn\u2019t produce a lot of smoke. Always remember that unseasoned firewood will give off more smoke. High smoke causes a lot of creosote to build up inside your chimney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creosote is a dark, tar-like chemical and combustible. It deposits inside chimney walls layer by layer and if layers get too thick, they can catch fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burning fully seasoned firewood with moisture content below 20 percent produces minimum creosote for any firewood as compared to wet wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"spark\"><\/span>Spark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boxelder throws few sparks but still, it is advisable to use glass screens in front of your stove to avoid any mishap. Wet firewood creates more sparks because with heat moisture vaporizes to create pressure, which makes wood pop and throw sparks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"smell\"><\/span>Smell&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boxelder carries a bad smell although it is not as bad as some. Completely seasoned firewood will produce a very low smell whereas wet firewood gives off more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burning indoors can be more problematic than outdoors, of course, because of the smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"coals\"><\/span>Coals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have described the Boxelder burns fast and short. These properties are consistent with its coals which do not last long and burn out quickly. So, the coal quality from the boxelder is low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"splitting_boxelder_firewood\"><\/span>Splitting Boxelder Firewood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to moderate difficulty to split. Due to its straight grain, it mostly split evenly but, if you counter knots and branches, it can be a little challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbergadgets.com\/best-splitting-mauls\/\">Best Splitting Mauls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"comparing_boxelder_to_other_firewood\"><\/span>Comparing Boxelder to Other Firewood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For its heat output, Boxelder is mostly good only for shoulder months and doesn\u2019t perform exceedingly well in extreme cold.  While you can get this firewood free and it is easier and fast to process, it is worth some attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we have a table to compare between popular firewoods.<\/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>Pecan<\/td><td>4500<\/td><td>28.5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Beech<\/td><td>3760<\/td><td>27.5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sweetgum<\/td><td>2592<\/td><td>21.3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Elm, American<\/td><td>2872<\/td><td>20.0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Boxelder<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>2632<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>18.3<\/strong><\/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_boxelder_firewood\"><\/span>How Long to Season Boxelder Firewood?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It carries a high amount of moisture but dries out fast. It takes around 8 &#8211; 12 months to dry below 20 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper seasoning requires following standard practices for fast and thorough seasoning. Arrange firewood in well-aerated racks raised a few inches from ground level to avoid moisture and decay. Place the racks away from fences and shade in an open area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"identifying_boxelder_trees\"><\/span>Identifying Boxelder Trees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Boxelder is grown in <strong>USDA zones 2 to 9<\/strong> and needs full sun or partial shade. It attains a maximum height of 80 feet, has several trunks, and belongs to the Maple family. Boxelder is often called Manitoba Maple or Ash Maple. Its wood is very soft and branches break easily with the wind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commonly found in North America, it is among the most abundant trees in the area. Boxelder bugs are a real nuisance and are attracted to their long clusters of seeds. These are not particularly harmful but they smell really bad if you accidentally crush one. Removing them from your home is hard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"leaves\"><\/span>Leaves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It has compound leaves similar to maples and contains 3 to 7 leaflets per leaf. Leaves have a light green color which turns yellow in fall. Leaf has three lobes and irregularly toothed margins with a pointed tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bark\"><\/span>Bark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bark has a grey to light brown color with deep fissures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured photo by: Jim Morefield Flickr (CC BY-SA 2.0)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boxelder firewood is average at best, comparatively speaking.
