Ash firewood

However, homeowners who have owned a wood-burning stove or had an open fire for many consecutive years often find a type of firewood that they like the most. This means different firewood offers different qualities; some can produce a slow and rather dull burn, but it burns for much longer. However, the all-rounder, one of the most popular type of firewood, is ash firewood simply because it offers brilliant and bright heat generated over a sustained period.

Another great quality of Ash firewood is that it often leaves minimal residue once burnt. The heat that it produces is so bright, it’s so intensely hot, that you may find that in the bottom of your wood-burning stove, in the ash collection tray, that when burning ash there is very little ash because of the huge amounts of heat this firewood generates.

This type of firewood, because it burns intensely and hot, produces fantastic heat when used in wood-burning stoves and open fireplaces.
