The choice of firewood for the stove must be approached very responsibly.

We tell you which firewood for the stove is the most economical, hottest and does not clog the chimney.

What is the best firewood for a stove?

As reported by the Zen channel "Dachny StroyRemont", oak firewood is considered the best for heating living spaces.

However, they are not cheap, so birch firewood is the most popular.

They have many advantages: they dry quickly, are easy to chop, light quickly, emit a lot of heat, burn almost completely, and are accessible and inexpensive.

The downside of birch firewood is that it rots quickly. Birch also contains a lot of tar, which contributes to the rapid clogging of the chimney.

To prevent this, add a few aspen logs or potato peelings at the end of the fire.

As for pine and spruce firewood, it is better to use it for a bathhouse; it is not suitable for home stoves with a knee-type chimney.
