Default Good wood

Spent many a year growing up in the the bush, actually had to cut the stuff at 7 years old. Spruce or pine was what we used for the kitchen stove , but when it came to throw some heat it was always birch, more heat than oak, and smelled a lot better. Pine, Spruce in NW ONT has all of the creosote that will cause chimney fires in every day use, if not cleaned regularly,or if nor properly seasoned.If you know what your doing use the trees with needles for heat and the trees with leaves for cooking,unless you have an abundant supply of birch for heat. That would be my way to go but can't speak for everyone.
