According to the Woodburners handbook I just happen to have right here it is basicly the same or just slightly higher than white oak in btu's. They list 6 true hickory's. Live oak is quite a bit higher, highest of all, but we don't see that around here I would think. I had a pignut, which is listed as a hickory, cut down a few years back and it was hard as a rock and burned quite nice, split nice too. I am just finishing up with a bunch of Beech a friend gave me. Worst spliting wood I have ever done, right up there with locust. Knarly stuff. I had to borrow a splitter after a while. Good score. P.
