Fire color

[WellSeasoned]

I know that the purple colored fire is hotter, and thats how my secondaries have been burning for the past two days. I'm not sure of the wood id, and the only thing I have done different is empty the ash pan yesterday. I can leave the air almost closed and I will have purple secondaries for an hour or two. Whats your thoughts on this? Is it a certain wood species?

Sounds like black locust to me. I get lots of crazy blue flame with my BL.

I may be, but how can it be green and seasoned all at the same time. :gulp:

Purple or blue means the best combustion. Yellow means fuel rich. But that happens all the time burning wood. Just too many things coming out of that wood at different rates.

+1 . . .

And it doesn't necessarily have to be coming off the primo wood species . . . I've got the purple and blue flames from other wood species beside the "good stuff."
