On the coast they burn a lot of Alder.
One an elk trip one year I met a local in Creston. He asked me about firewood prices on the coast. When I told him a lot of people burned Alder, he came unglued. He looked at me like I had married my cousin. He said Alder is just a dang weed. He also said he would put on a sweater before he ever put a stick of alder on his fire.
he burned Tamarack.
