There have been many mentions of the heat value of various woods used in
firing. I have access to sawmill scrap redwood. Does anyone have enough
experience with using redwood to offer any comments. Yes, I know that the
redwoods are precious. But, it is there for my use and the cost is only in
my time.

Generally, the heat value of a variety of wood is directly related to
its weight, which makes perfect sense.
That is why a cord of hickory or oak will give you more heat value
than a cord of pine or cedar.
Redwood, being a lightweight wood, would be low on the heat value scale.
In a wood kiln, the hard heavy woods produce much hotter bed of coals.
