Ash

Burning ash as firewood offers several benefits:

1. High Heat Output: Ash provides strong, steady heat, comparable to oak.

2. Low Moisture Content: It can often be burned when freshly cut, though seasoning is ideal.

3. Easy to Split: Ash is easy to split due to its structure, making it user-friendly.

4. Clean Burning: It produces less smoke and soot, reducing chimney maintenance.

5. Sustained Flame: Ash burns consistently and makes good coals, great for long fires.

6. Availability: Ash is common, especially in areas affected by the emerald ash borer.

7. Low Residue: It leaves minimal ash, making post-fire cleanup easier.

These qualities make ash a popular, efficient, and accessible firewood option.
