1. Hardwood vs. SoftwoodYourfireplace’sperformancedependsonthequalityofthefirewoodyouuse.Onespeciesofwoodvariesverylittle to the other in termsof energy content.All sea-soned wood contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound.Hardwoodshaveagreaterdensity thansoftwoods;apieceofhardwoodwillcontainabout60%moreBTU’sthananequal sizepieceof softwood.A cordof sea-sonedoak(hardwood)wouldcontainabout60%morepotential energy than a cord of seasoned pine (soft-wood).

Most softwoods are coniferous.These are treeswithneedle-like leaves that stay green all year and carrytheir seeds exposed in a cone. Examples of conifer-oustreesareDouglasfir,pine,spruceandcedar.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 thatlose their leaves in the fall. Their seeds are usuallyfoundwithinaprotectivepodorenclosure.Someex-amplesofdeciduoustreesareoak,maple,apple,andbirch.However,itshouldbenotedthattherearesomedeciduoustreesthataredefinitelynotconsideredhard-woods such as poplar, aspen and alder.

Burningwet,unseasonedwoodwillproducelessheatoutputbecause it requiresenergy in the formofheattoevaporatethewater trapped inside.This iswastedenergythatshouldbeusedforheatingyourhome.Thismoisture evaporates in the form of steamwhich hasa cooling effect in your firebox and chimney system.Whencombinedwithtarandotherorganicvaporsfromburningwooditwillformcreosotewhichcondensesintherelativelycoolfireboxandchimney.
