Pine is a softwood that burns fast and is easily lit. Usually sold in mixed varieties, we recommend using it primarily as a starter wood. Pine is great firewood for bonfires or just the occasional camp fire. Pine has a low heat value of around 15.2 BTU.

Red Oak is a hardwood that burns long and hot. Red Oak will burn clean with embers and generate low smoke that has a pleasant smell. It’s great for smoking or grilling and leaves a savory taste on beef, pork, lamb, and other red meats. Red Oak can also be used for home heating. We recommend double splitting it and using it with a starter wood. Red Oak has a heat value of around 29.8 BTU.

White Oak is great for home heating, grilling, and smoking meats such as pork, poultry, and seafood. We suggest using it with a starter wood. Mesquite has a heat value of around 27.7 BTU.
