We've lost a ton of our paper birch trees during the last few years of severe drought in Northwest Wisconsin. So I now have a huge glut of birch firewood where as we burned red oak and maple mostly before.
It's surprising how much black smoke it gives off even when burned very hot and dry. Do you folks that regularly burn paper birch find that smoke from the bark contributes heavily to fouling and creosote build up, or is it more of just a sooty smoke that "burns off" once temps are up?
Thanks as always
