Fuel value of wood compared to coal in fuel tests
The Forest Service Laboratory reports wood heat values. Hickory and oak top the list, with one cord of seasoned high heat woods equal to a ton of coal. Pine and several soft woods burn quickly but exhaust heat sooner, while resinous woods show high heat per weight. Domestic use stresses rapid ignition, even burning, and heat retention, with regional wood preferences noted.
