Soft wood

Plus 1 on that but the general public dont by and large want it as 'it burns to quick'.   What they dont realise is the heat release is faster as the wood is less dense.  As logs are sold by volume there are more KWH in hard than soft but its a higher price.  Therefore cost per KW is about the same.

 

I even had a guy not happy with some ultra dry KD Ash last week as it burnt faster than the seasoned wood I had been selling him.

Same-ish here though I'm a tiny, tiny supplier.

 

Funny how softwood keeps Northern Europe, Scandinavia, the far north of America and Siberia warm yet there's no convincing the south of England that it's any good. 

 

At home I burn 100% softwood.

About 5% of our sales are softwood but the price has just rocketed so I can't see it being worth it compared to hardwood soon.

 

Personally I prefer to burn hardwood because it's less work but I've got no issues burning softwood.
