Never been one for "banking" a fire with wood, always thought it wasn't best suited to it and it drives the chimney sweep nuts, so always tended towards using a drop of coal if I wanted the cooker kept in for a while.   However, coal has went a bit mad and I've plenty of wood of most types available so has anyone ever found any particular type of wood that was ideally suited to it?   I know hardwoods are generally better than softwoods but just curious if there's anything tha
