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 moisture meter can prevent
you from paying for water when you thought you were paying for wood (see optional accessories).

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

A = Cost/Cord (from wood supplier)
B = lbs./Cord (from above table)
C = Cords/Month (from experience, or call Wood Stone for an estimate
When burned, all wood releases approximately 6500 BTU’s/lb. so it is better to compare the price of
wood by the pound rather than by the cord. A full cord of wood measures 4’ x 4’ x 8’ when stacked.
