| Firewood is rated as Hardwood or Softwood. Hardwoods
tend to give more heat and less smoke in a long, hot burn:
which equates to less creosote, the culprit in many chimney
fires. |
|
Seasoned wood usually, contains 20-25% moisture
content, while unseasoned wood can have water content of
over 50%, seasoned firewood is easier to start and produces
more heat. In order to tell if your wood is seasoned look
for the following:
1. Wood that seems lightweight
2. Wood that has dark ends with cracks or splits |
|
| Many States are tightening rules and regulations on how
firewood gets bought, sold and distributed. This is mainly
for the purpose of regulating introduction of invasive pests
into host environments. Kiln-drying eliminates pest in
firewood which protects from infestation. |
|
| Never burn any construction scraps of treated or
painted wood, especially treated wood from decks or
landscaping ties. The chemicals used can release dangerous
amounts of toxic chemicals. |

| White paper Birch is considered the Cadillac of
firewood's for the fire place use; it gives off a blue flame
and a romantic fragrance. The white paper bark makes for
easy starting. White Paper Birch looks great just sitting by
or in the fireplace when not in use. |

The Tree: Betula family
Birch trees grow abundantly in North America with nine
species in this family that are relatively well known, but
over 50 species found around the world, including many
ornamental and shrub bushes. White Paper Birch (sometime
referred as white or canoe birch) primarily grows abundantly
in Canada and Northern Minnesota. |

Birch Uses:
Birch's ease of use and reasonable price, have made it a
great craft wood for almost any wood working project. It's
used extensively for firewood and makes wonderful ornamental
trees. It has been turned to make all the toy part you need,
tongue depressors, tooth picks, pulp for paper and turned
into high end furniture. There is little it has not been
used for. |

Birch Wood Description:
The appearance of the wood will vary between species but
generally the sap wood is creamy white and the heart stock
golden brown. Paper birch is predominately sap wood, with
small brown knotty hearts. The wood is mostly white but as
it nears the core will show brown flame patterns with white
sap edges…quite dramatic. |
|
|
|
| All Birch has a fine and uniform texture. When birch
dries it has a fair amount of shrinkage. It looses 16% of
its volume going from green to dry. It is not resistant to
decay, fungal and insect attack. Of all the quality domestic
hardwoods birch would probably be the lowest in price. This
is its most redeeming features, a beautiful wood to look at,
work with and sold at a reasonable price. |
