Beech wood firewood: good, but African wood is better

Beech has been popular as firewood for years. It burns evenly, produces a warm flame, and offers minimal smoke. Ideal for shorter stoking sessions or a cozy evening fire. However, beech has a drawback: it burns relatively quickly and produces less heat per log than harder woods.

Beechwood firewood comparison

Beech wood:

• Burns easily
• Gives a nice, quiet fire

African hardwoods—such as mopane, camel-headed spruce, sekelbos, and black spruce—are much denser and harder. This means:

• Burns up to three times longer
• It gives more heat per block
• It barely smokes or splashes
