Hardwood Firewood
Pros:
- Burns Longer: Hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple burn slower, providing long-lasting heat, making them perfect for keeping a fire going throughout the night.
- Higher Heat Output: Hardwoods produce more heat and energy, making them ideal for heating homes or for a sustained, intense fire.
- Cleaner Burn: Hardwoods typically produce less creosote than softwoods, meaning there’s less buildup in chimneys and less soot.
- Less Resinous: Hardwoods are less resinous, which means they burn cleaner and are less likely to produce excessive popping.
Cons:
- Harder to Split: Hardwood is denser, which means it’s more challenging to split, especially when it's green (unseasoned).
- Takes Longer to Season: Hardwood takes longer to dry out (season), meaning you may need to store it for a year or more before it’s ready to burn.
- More Expensive: Because hardwood grows slower and is denser, it can be more expensive than softwood.
- Heavier to Handle: Hardwood logs are heavier and more difficult to move around and stack compared to softwood.
