5. Operation Guide lines Advantages of a Wood Burning Fireplace These are the practical ecological advantages of wood as a fuel Also to be considered is the aesthetic appeal Most of us consider a wood fire with nostalgia We enjoy the aroma and find the flickering light of a cozy hearth conductive to a happy remembrance of things past Wood has a low ash content And the little ash that remains after burning is useful in home gardening as a fertilizer and soil conditioner WARNING This appliance is not for use as cooking equipment Which Woods Are Best Each wood species offers something different in aroma or heat value and you should consider your needs and desires before building your fire Softwoods like pine spruce and fir are easy to ignite because they are resinous However a fire built entirely of softwoods burns out quickly and requires frequent replenishment While a softwood fire is not too desirable for a long evening it s fine in the morning when you want quick warmth or late in the evening when you want a fire that will burn out before you go to bed On occasion when a longer fire is desired it s best to combine softwoods with the heavier hard woods such as ash beech birch maple oak and hickory These hardwood species burn less rapidly with shorter flames and produce steady glowing coals For the most pleasing aroma burn the wood of fruit trees such as apple and cherry or nut trees such as beech hickory
