In a lot of campgrounds these days you have to buy your firewood or haul it in with you, as no gathering of loose old branches can be done. Some camping areas try to protect everything including the old logs and twigs. so do you buy firewood, or do you haul in your own?
I know that some wood puts of more heat then other kinds, as in pine burns well and oak is good for heating, makes a good hot fire. Maple when dried burns well, as does old apple trees. Do you have a favorite type of camp fire wood that you like to burn?
When we wanted a hot roaring fire we put pine logs or a knot of pine on the campfire. If a long-lasting fire is needed use some oak, otherwise any dried
burnable wood will do the job. Some kinds of wood will snap and crackle and pop do to hidden air pockets in the wood, when lit on fire.
I think the best part of any campfire is sitting and staring into the flames while roasting hot dogs or marshmellows, on a long stick over a fire. Any comments?
