Red maple is a medium quality firewood, [30] possessing less heat energy, nominally 5.4 gigajoules per cubic metre (18.7 million British thermal units per cord) , than other hardwoods such as ash: 7.0 GJ/m 3 (24 million British thermal units per cord), oak: 7.0 GJ/m 3 (24 million British thermal units per cord), or birch: 6.1 GJ/m 3 (21 million ...
