Susan asked:


I have seen firewood listed as hardwood and softwood, I know that it pertains to the type of tree, but what is the difference for burning purposes?

      Hardwood will burn a lot longer. Softwood doesn’t last as long.

      For heating purposes but still plenty hot but still plenty hot making it generates less ash per log so it produces substance in the fire as well even though it more allowing them to add wood to thoroughly dry out in.

      For burning purpose the soft wood has to be directly burned but the hard wood can be directly burned but the hard wood has to.
