Whats the best wood to burn in a woodburning stove?

0

Dry, seasoned wood is best. The type of tree is not as important as moisture content. Even the most dense wood must be allowed to dry for a minimum of 12 months after being split and stacked. Popular firewood in the Northwest are: maple, alder, Douglas fir, madrone and fruitwood, such as apple and cherry. Another good fuel source is pressed, fire logs, manufactured by pressurizing sawdust, as opposed to wax-based decorative logs, which have limited heating value. Brand names to look for are: Dell Logs, Eco Logs and Presto Logs. Logs to avoid are Duraflame or any log advertising rainbow-colored flames.
