Cherry, apple, and oak are best for fire pits, offering pleasant aromas, beautiful flames, and minimal sparking for safe, enjoyable outdoor fires.
Oak and hickory produce the best, longest-lasting coals. Black locust also excels where available, while ash provides good coals with easier processing.
Firewood can harbor termites, but proper storage 20-30 feet from your home, elevated off the ground, prevents infestations. Burn wood promptly after bringing it indoors.
Hardwoods are denser and burn longer with more heat, while softwoods ignite faster and burn quicker—both have advantages when properly seasoned.
Seasoned firewood is wood that has been dried to reduce moisture content below 20% for efficient, safe burning with less smoke and creosote.
