Dead birch is usually rotten and almost no heating value. However green birch is around 50% moisture, yes very heavy and lots of hard work. You need to dry at least one summer. Most approved wood lots have all the close trees already cut. Have fun! Some very good large birch trees usually left to blow down in middle of cut-blocks, but Forestry does not like week end warriors falling these large diameter trees, could cause serious hurt.
