I burn mostly shop scraps using finishing paper towels as starters. When it gets low, I use pallets from the Ace up the road that I cut up.
I'm not fancy. |

Sorry OP, but you're wrong. Cherry makes the best camp fire. Beautiful blue flames. Very little ashes left.

Good wood is for the stove, shit wood is for the campfire.
I have enough dead fall limbs to gather and burn here that I never have to use decent stuff. |

Every area has their favorite. All we have around here is mesquite, so I go west a get loads of pinon pine. It burns hot and clean and the smoke smells good.

For sitting around a campfire? Cherry without question. Burning in a stove for heat? Black locust, honey locust, hop hornbeam, persimmon.

The best campfire is made from random dead tree fall collected around your campsite. So many great memories built from random dead wood…

It depends.
Cold weather oak, ash or walnut. Real cold weather ….Hickory, Black Locust of Hedge (preferred) Warm weather anything at doesn’t stink and has reasonable BTU’s. |

I totally understand having wood preferences for stoves and heating and such. But when camping the name of the game is find the wood lying around |

Maple, ash and cherry are definitely the 3 best for campfires. Small pieces of dry oak are nice when cooking over a campfire, they regulate heat nicely.

I only burn exquisite craft blends. Mahogany aged a few decades with a few staves of bourbon barrel casks thrown in is my current obsession.

Tires.
We actually have a gas fie pit at home and have talked of using charcoal when we pull our camper on our next trip so we dont smell like a campfire. |
