Your opinion if different is stupid.
Dried chopped maple. Goddamn. |

If ye ain't using poison sumac and treated pallets ye ain't a man

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…
|

Ash it's light weight and burns hot. And dead Ash trees are everywhere.
|
|
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. |
|
|
Our fires end up being mostly beer cans by the time the sun sets.

Purely recreational campfire? Cedar is the winner.
And smells fantastic. |
|
|
|
We're at hipster fires now? Great. I only burn African Blackwood. You've probably never heard of it.

You haven’t camp fired to you’ve camp fired with Pecan. Make sure you bring a steak to cook on it while at it.
