Central heating is a great invention however it does not provide you with the cosiness and romance generated by
a real fire. A wood stove is also environmentally friendly as well as economic to run when burning the right sort of wood in
the correct manner.
Generally, one type of wood is just as good as another when it comes to firing your wood stove. However, there is a difference
in the weight of different wood types and there is also a difference in the way they burn. Light species of wood are easier
to chop as well as easier to kindle – a fact making these highly suitable for kindling. On the other hand, they do burn quicker
than the heavy species of wood, and will generate somewhat less heat. Common sense will tell you how to combine the light with
the heavy species of wood for economic firing.
