Yourreplace’sperformancedependsonthequalityof

therewoodyouuse.Onespeciesofwoodvariesvery

little to the other in terms of energy content.All sea-

soned wood contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound.

Hardwoods have a greater density than softwoods; a

pieceofhardwoodwillcontainabout60%moreBTU’s

than an equal size piece of softwood.A cord of sea-

sonedoak(hardwood)wouldcontainabout60%more

potential energy than a cord of seasoned pine (soft-

wood).

Most softwoods are coniferous. These are trees with

needle-like leaves that stay green all year and carry

their seeds exposed in a cone. Examples of conifer-

oustreesareDouglasr,pine,spruceandcedar.Soft-

woods, being more porous, require less time to dry,

burn faster and are easier to ignite than hardwoods.

Hardwoods are deciduous trees, broadleaf trees that

lose their leaves in the fall. Their seeds are usually

foundwithin a protectivepod or enclosure.Some ex-
