Sorry? the harder the wood the longer it burns once you have a good fire "bed" not sure what you mean by 1,2,3,4.

Olive,

Carob

Eucalyptus

Citrus Wood



Thats all I know, I would never have pine though, it is gone in a flash and has too much resin in it

The best wood is the wood that comes free.

Yorgzlu, leave Alic trees alone.



The best thing to burn is dried cow dung.



It has a sweet smeel as it burns and all that.

For a really satisfying blaze:



1: Kindling: any property contracts/paperwork from Agents/Builders/Advocates.



2: Dining table/chairs.



3: Roadside debris/roadkill.



4: Beach debris, plastics burn very hot!



5: Kitchen units/doors/windows/shutters.



6: Cheque books/bank statements and anything in your garden.



7: Do not burn your outbound from NC flight tickets!





I'll get my coat!

The logs that are heavy and dense, do not burn on my fire at all. The fire just goes out. They are about 10-15cm in diametre. What are they, so I know not to get them again?
