a customer once told me the best wood to burn is the dryest you can find,

the second best wood to burn is the wood you get for free.

 

in my experience its not softwood that soots up your chimney, but the burning of wet wood.

something to do with the moisure, combustable and non-combustable gasses condensing on a colder surface.

i am in agreement though, it doesn't matter what the wood is you burn as long as it is dry

 

here's a question though.

if every customer of every firewood supplier was to only ask for and only accept the alleged top hardwoods for fuel, how long could our forestry sustain the demand without clear felling as demand for wood fuel is drastically increasing?

 

should we educate on species or on sustainability? do a poll on that one!!!
