Your top 3 woods to burn?

[Chippy]

Beech, Sycamore, Conifer

[wisecobandit]

This is turning more into a thread of what we burn rather than your favourite 3 lol. Im sure a good fire wouldn't be kept alive on the likes of old stakes and blackthorn etc if we had the choice.

Burning cherry seems criminal especially if its wild cherry, makes excellent knife handles etc.

Nah, blunts the saw too much! As others have said its all about dryness, reclaimed beams, perhaps hundreds of years old burn like coal.
