FAQ
-
Which firewood should I choose?I recommend pinon and oak. A mix of half and half is usually ideal. Pinon lights easier and smells great. However, oak burns a long time and puts off a lot of heat. Begin with the pinon to get your fire going nicely with a big flame. Once the pinion is burning nicely add oak to the fire to extend the life of the fire.
