Whats best to use softwood like yours or hardwood?

 

Always used softwood, its straighter so stands better and lights easier.

Standing dead pine is best in my experience, use birch bark (natures fire lighter) to get it going with a few dry twigs. It can be a bit finicky to get a good fire going but once it takes they burn a treat.

I also find that if you make your vertical chainsaw cuts a bit wider by wiggling (technical term!) the bar/chain it helps you to pack more tinder and kindling in the gaps.

All mine are leylandii, this one took 3 gallons of water to keep it down enough to cook the kebabs without incinerating them..

Stringy poplar split with hydraulic splitter. Stop just short of complete split then hold splits open with a bit of kindling. Works a treat
