Why does the wood in our fireplace not burn all the way?
We bought some wood that is "hardwood" - I think it is mostly very hard cherry. It is dried, some might be still cut from this year though. When we burn it, it looks nice for awhile then it burns out and leaves logs that are just charred and black. Why? What should we do? Do we need to mix in other types of less hard wood or something? What is the way to get the best use of our firewood...obviously this is our first fireplace so any good tips are welcome.
Answer:
Sounds like it's not very dry.
To improve the ability of it to burn you can split it.
Or just mix in some smaller wood.
Remember to build the fire with at least two logs so the heat will bounce back and forth.
