Your appliance performance depends on the quality of the
rewood you use.
• Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound .
• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.
• Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.
• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower and
are harder to ignite.
• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.
• Start the re with softwood to bring the appliance up to
operating temperature and to establish draft.
• Add hardwood for slow, even heat and longer burn time.
