What is the firewood you'd recommend for me ? - Answer
This is a tricky question, because it’ll depend heavily on your situation and your usage.
Our Jack Pine is the perfect choice for your fire outdoors or to help start another fire. The Pine burns well and quickly, providing a nice smoke smell.
The Hard Maple is our best product if you want a good source of heat. No sparks and a slow speed of consumption makes it the best choice for the fireplace or wood stove. Two to three pieces will burn all night.
The White Birch is a gorgeous wood. It’s bark makes it an object of design and decoration nowadays. It’s a good compromise between the speed of consumption and heat released.
It really depends on your planned usage. Do not hesitate to come and visit our woodlot for more details.
