Hornbeam firewood
Hornbeam firewood is one of the leaders in density and burning duration. Regarding heat transfer, they exceed all known wood-type fuel options, including peat briquettes, second only to coal.
Woodbrothers.ie offers to buy hornbeam firewood in Ireland at reasonable prices. We offer our clients only selected firewood. If necessary, we arrange delivery and unloading.
The main characteristics of firewood from hornbeam:
- Density of wood – 740-795 kg/m3
- Burning temperature – 1020С
- Heat output – 85%
- Specific calorific value – 1654-2148 kcal/dm3 (at 20% relative humidity).
The hornbeam tree is a valuable species from the birch family. This breed is one of the hardest and most resistant to wear. Hornbeam logs are covered with thin, smooth bark without cracks; their structure is uniform, dense, and fibrous.
Hornbeam firewood is distinguished by a density that exceeds oak somewhere by 5-10%. Thanks to this, they burn very slowly, produce intense heat and good coals that will smoulder for a long time and give off heat. Dried logs are easy to light due to their low natural humidity.
Buying hornbeam firewood is economical, expedient, and profitable. Their heat transfer exceeds oak logs. On average, oak produces 2000 kcal/kg of fuel, and hornbeam provides more than 2300 kcal/kg. Therefore, hornbeam firewood is used to heat houses and cottages and large premises: factories, warehouses, trading floors.
We recommend hornbeam wood for lighting in fireplaces, low-draft stoves, buleryans, and solid fuel boilers, as well as for barbecues and barbecues. The smoke from this type of wood has a subtle tart smell. Smooth and bright flames look great in fireplaces, creating a unique atmosphere.
If you use them to light a stove or fireplace in the house in the evening, the heat will be maintained for almost a day without additional effort.
Have you decided to buy hornbeam firewood for personal home use? While relaxing in the courtyard of a private house or nature while frying a delicious kebab, you will not need to constantly move away from annoying and unpleasant smoke. After all, these woods burn with virtually no smoke, and the heat from the coals will be enough to cook a barbecue for a large group.
Features of hornbeam firewood when burning
- A bright, even, and almost smokeless flame that burns evenly, practically does not spark and does not shoot embers;
- A small amount of ash is formed, which, according to experts, is an excellent fertiliser;
- Release of beneficial silver ions, which destroy pathogenic viruses and microbes, naturally disinfecting premises;
- Destruction of black mould spores that cause asthma, as well as other diseases of the respiratory system or heart;
- Essential oils are released into the air, filling the room with a light and slightly tart smell of forest freshness, which creates a peaceful atmosphere.
Before buying a hornbeam, you should consider the main disadvantage of this breed. This type of wood is difficult to see. If you need to prepare hornbeam firewood yourself, we recommend that you let it sit in the cold, making it more pliable. Unless you like to warm up by swinging an axe, the Firewood Base recommends buying hornbeam firewood that is already chopped.
