Firewood

Description

Alder | Seasoned Alder firewood burns relatively fast but creates a hot fire with decent coals. Many people choose to burn the wood during the fall or spring when the outside temperatures are moderate. Or you can mix the wood in with other dense hardwoods like oak, maple or beech.

Maple | Burns long, slow, and steady, and since it can be found just about everywhere in Canada and the United States, it’s a smart choice for fireplaces and wood stoves.

Birch | Birchwood turns into coals quickly and retains heat. Birch firewood is known for burning quickly, sometimes as fast as 60 minutes. Sometimes a little oak or elm wood can be added to help birch wood burn longer.
