best wood for overnight shutdown

[billy_wizz]

Hi there i have a stratford eco 9he woodburner and burn 99% softwood as its free cut from the timber too twisted to be any use in the mill but can only get 8 hour max when shut down over night and was wondering if hardwood would last longer?

Hi HTB ELMS oak beech is good mate we use oak very well seasoned stuff thanks Jon

Oak briquettes are very good, as are bark briquettes.

 

Bark has a strong smell though, when burning

Oak or Holly we had some holly left in big chunks for two years amazing stuff when dry just takes a decade to dry.

 

Or go to bed later and get up earlier

I find that if I have been burning any kind of hard wood there are always embers under the ash in the morning . Chuck on some smaller bits open the door a crack and the air slide and away you go . Also some good charcoal if I have been burning eucalyptus .

Greenheart, Purpleheart and Ekki will give tremendous heat and will be plenty of red glowing embers in the morning. Hard to come by that stuff though

Had some Keroin off an old lorry bed now that stuff is hard is iron
