    Sassafras.....

    Also great to throw a split in when you have other, harder, harder to ignite woods.

    What kind of wood burns like POPCORN?

    BTW, sassafras is like pine. Some people wont' even touch it, but I like to mix it in to get the fire roaring or to burn down coals. Gets hot fast.

    Buck into stove length or leave as logs, for splitting later?

    And I always found wood to be wettest, heaviest, and stringiest when fresh cut. Seems like the wood POPs more when it's dry. Easier splitting?

    I found the secret to the "overnight burn"

    I personally use a mix of about 15% coal or charcoal, 70% potassium nitrate, and 10% sulfur. You DO realize I'm kidding, right?
