Since "smoldering fires" are something to avoid, I'm wondering about some woods like Cherry wood (for example) that tends to burn inside the log, not showing much flame. I don't have segregated types of wood in my wood pile, and I'm not THAT much of an "outdoorsman" that I can identify all types of wood at a glance, therefore I'm most likely going to burn a mix of woods.
Since some woods tend to burn more internally, than externally, wouldn't it be possible to falsely identify a smoldering fire, exclusively by a lack of strong evident flames?
So the question occurred to me: what are some of the definitive signs of a smoldering fire, and what's the easiest way to fix them?
I can guess the solution for the second part, fairly easily............give it more air, and stoke it a bit....
