Did you know that the type of wood you use affects how well your fire burns? If you’ve got a wood-burning fireplace or are planning a bonfire, you’ll want to check out “Firewood Primer: Which Wood Burns Best?“, a helpful article at bobvila.com. You’ll learn the ins and outs of different types of wood, like:
- Hard maple
- Douglas fir
- Birch
- Oak
- Pine
Whatever type of wood you choose, be sure to choose wood that’s been “seasoned” (aged in a dry area). Experts even say you should buy each year’s wood the year before so that you can let it dry out for even longer yourself. If you do this, though, you have to have a place to store your wood that’s outdoors and open, yet protected from the elements.
