Wood Scrounge
ArboristSite Guru
I have found that if I mix the species of wood I get a hotter fire. I like to have 3 pieces of Oak or Hickory and 2 pieces of Black Birch or even tulip poplar. The softer wood burns faster and ignites the hard wood its entire length. I don't do this before I go to bed or before I leave for work (requires more feeding) but when I am trying to get heat fast this helps.
Anyone else like to mix their wood?
