what is your favourite firewood and why??

[Dean Lofthouse]

Bone dry willow, poplar and Conifer

 

Because it makes my fire glow better than Oak and it's light weight for carting in the house

My favourite wood is free wood:001_smile:

 

at the moment I'm burning some apple, conifer and hawthorn, and the conifer seems to be best so far, followed by hawthorn, and the apple is a bit of a dud!

sycamore.. theres lots of it, i can be picky and only take the straight bits to stack in woodstores at home, splits for fun and seasons pretty quick, fill a wheelbarrow and push it right into the kitchen:thumbup1:

Hawthorne - it is true that bread baked over it tastes out of this world...

 

For a fire generally, beech probably...

[Arran Woodfuels]

Sitka Spruce

 

Because of its fast growing nature and adaptability to wet soils. Plus, there is 530,000 hectares of the stuff in Scotland, around 850 million trees, all planted by hand. When seasoned, burns lovely and is used extensively down the West Coast Highlands & Islands.

 

Oh, and you can make beer from the roots.......

Hawthorn again, with ash as a close second.

 

The thorn seems to burn a little hotter, and stays in longer; ash does almost as well, and is a lot easier to cart about and process when green.
