Wood Lots to Supply Fuel From Local Farms
Local farm woodlands can supply much of the heat for homes by mixing with coal or burning alone. Cornell University data show a cord of seasoned wood equals about 4 tons of hard coal, with species such as white oak, beech, black birch, yellow birch, hickory, red maple, and black locust noted. Homeowners should store green wood under cover and split large pieces to dry, using large chunks that fit doors for best heat.
