FAQs
-
Can you mix different types of firewood?
Yes, mixing firewood types is smart strategy. Combine softwood for starting with hardwood for sustained heat, or blend species to balance cost and performance.
-
What’s the difference between hardwood and softwood firewood?
Hardwoods are denser and burn longer with more heat, while softwoods ignite faster and burn quicker—both have advantages when properly seasoned.
-
What firewood produces the best coals?
Oak and hickory produce the best, longest-lasting coals. Black locust also excels where available, while ash provides good coals with easier processing.
-
What’s the difference between a face cord and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet (4×4×8 ft), while a face cord is typically one-third that size (4×8 ft × 16 in deep).
-
Why does firewood need to be split?
Splitting firewood accelerates drying by exposing more surface area, enables proper ignition and combustion, and creates manageable sizes for efficient burning.
