Description
Why buy birch firewood?
- Durable wood with smooth grains
- Easy to ignite
- Long burning and hot coals
- The pleasant aroma when burning
- No sparks
- Minimal ash and soot with a good draft
The disadvantage can be considered the difficulty in splitting birch chocks into logs. Therefore, if the farm does not have special equipment or a zealous woodcutter, ordering ready-made logs of the right size is recommended. However, the price per cubic meter for chopped birch firewood is slightly higher than for chocks.
It is also worth paying attention to the tendency of birch to form soot in conditions of lack of oxygen. If you buy birch firewood and heat only with it all the time, the walls of the heating equipment may become dirty, making it necessary to clean the chimney more often. To prevent soot accumulation, it is essential to ensure a good flow of oxygen into the furnace and periodically lay aspen firewood, which cleans the pipes.
The best use of birch firewood is a bathhouse. In addition to an excellent prolonged heat, birch enhances the healing effect of the bath. Birchwood contains disinfectants, which are especially useful for breathing in the tub. Visiting such a steam room will speed up recovery from respiratory infections and stimulate the body’s defences.
Given how much a cube of birch firewood costs, constantly heating a residential building is simple and profitable. As mentioned earlier, the calorific value of birch is slightly lower than oak. It ignites quickly, so you won’t spend much time keeping the fire going. Fuel from the Woodbrothers.ie, the company, differs in the air-dry humidity level. Therefore, the maximum heat that our firewood can give will be spent on heating the house, not on the evaporation of the water in the tree.
Thanks to the resins in the bark and wood, birch can be used to light any other fuel. If you usually fire with charcoal or briquettes, or if your supply of firewood is damp, you need to take care of the kindling materials. In this case, you can buy chopped birch firewood in a small amount to speed up the ignition of the main fuel supply.
Finally, birch firewood is suitable for cooking. They create the ideal temperature so the kebab is well-cooked but not burnt—some restaurants in Dublin order birch wood specifically for their pizzas.
