Yourreplace’sperformancedependsonthequalityof

little to the other in terms of energy content.All sea-
soned wood contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound.
Hardwoods have agreater density thansoftwoods; a
pieceofhardwoodwillcontainabout60%moreBTU’s
than an equal size piece of softwood.A cord of sea-
sonedoak(hardwood)wouldcontainabout60%more
potential energy than a cord of seasoned pine (soft-
wood).
Most softwoods are coniferous. These are trees with
needle-like leaves that stay green all year and carry
their seeds exposed in a cone. Examples of conifer-
oustreesareDouglasr,pine,spruceandcedar.Soft-
woods, being more porous, require less time to dry,
burn faster and are easier to ignite than hardwoods.
Hardwoods are deciduous trees, broadleaf trees that
lose their leaves in the fall. Their seeds are usually
foundwithinaprotectivepodorenclosure.Someex-
