Firewood Directory? Where is it?

[Emsworth]

WhenI first started looking at theis website, i am sure there was a heading for a firewood directory, and now I cant seem to find it. I was lookin for something that tells the BTU and best types of wood etc. I obviously get asked a lot of questions about wood, and I would like to have a better idea of what i am talking about.

 

Cheers,

Above where the posts are there is a advert, then above that, the is a white box with a yellow box flashing "looking for firewood?" and "click here!", that bring up firewood suppliers directory.

Thats the only firewood directory I can think of, if its not what you looking for please ignore me:lol:

THink this is what your after, but remember softwood generally has a much higher calorific value but also youd be usng alot more volume in a tonne of soft wood compared to hard, so hard to say what is best wood. Purely on calorific value probably larch, but be prepared to load up fire alot and buy it by weight and not volume.

Try to get away from btu(british thermal unit) and use kw/h(kilowatt hour) much more universal these days,

1 kw/h = 3412 btus

Hope this helps
