Hickory

Hickory is one of the best firewood options due to its exceptional heat output and long-lasting burn. It produces a very hot, consistent fire with excellent coals, making it perfect for heating and cooking. Hickory burns cleanly with minimal smoke and ash, reducing maintenance. It’s known for its pleasant, rich aroma when burned, especially in barbecue or cooking applications. Although it can be tough to split, the high heat and sustained burn time make hickory an ideal firewood choice for those seeking efficient and powerful heating.
