FUELWOOD FACTS
WHAT TYPE OF WOOD SHOULD YOU USE TO FIRE YOUR SOLID FUEL COOKING EQUIPMENT?
The answer to this question depends on several considerations: geographical location, availability and relative cost of various
fuelwood species and individual preferences regarding the flavor qualities of various wood types� There are a wide variety of good
fuelwood species in all geographic locations� Each species of wood has different characteristics� The table below should help
weigh the pros and cons of various types of wood� Wood from conifers (pine trees) is not recommended due to its poor fuelwood
characteristics (low weight, low-med heat, poor coaling, high sparking and high residual creosote)�
Whichever type of wood you use, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE MOISTURE CONTENT. Properly seasoned wood contains 20%
moisture or less� If wood contains more than 20% moisture, it should not be accepted for use� Wood should be stored off the
ground and out of the rain in an environment that allows good air circulation so that the drying process can continue� Wet wood is
the most common operational difficulty associated with wood-fired cooking equipment� Wood Stone’s optional Mini-Ligno E Wood
Moisture Meter can save you from paying for water when you thought you were paying for wood (see the Tools & Accessories
section of
woodstone-corp.com
, contact your local distributor or Wood Stone)�
** The desirability of various
fragrances is largely a matter
of personal preference�
Calculate your approximate monthly, daily and hourly fuel-wood costs using the following formulas:
The cost of well-seasoned hardwood varies greatly with geographical location�
Cost per month = A x C Cost per day = A x C Cost per hour = A x C
30 30
12 hr day
A = Cost/cord (from wood supplier)
B = kg/cord (from above table)
C = Cords/mth (from experience, or call local distributor for estimate)
When burned, a kilo of any wood releases approximately 4�2 kWh (14300 BTU/hr), so it is better to compare
the price of wood by the pound rather than by the cord� A full cord of wood measures 1�2 m x 1�2 m x 1�2 m
when stacked�
