Hi Everyone, I'd like to know what people think is their favorite firewood. I have a few favorites, and a few dislikes. and it all depends of how hot or cold or how long, short you want the fire to burn. For a good long burn, not very hot, I prefer 'locust'. I use this for an overnighter, and usually in the morning there are plenty of hot coals to stir around to get the fire back into shape. (some of you might say locust has lot of sparks, and it does, so keep the woodstove door closed!) Oak, good and dry makes a nice hot fire, great for warming up the cabin. also hickory and hard maple are other good ones. As for dislikes, well cherry . . . especially if its not 100% dry. and basswood.
Any thoughts on this subject?
