Does it matter what species of wood I burn in my Econoburn wood boiler?
Yes, though any type of wood (including pine) can be burned in an Econoburn, choice of species will greatly influence burn times. For example, pine will burn much more quickly than hard maple. Below is an estimate for the energy content of common wood species – the more energy (BTU’s), the longer the burn time. Figures are based on 20% moisture content.
