WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF BURNING HARDWOODS VS. SOFTWOODS?
You are generally getting almost twice as much heat value from hardwoods compared to softwoods. So from an economic standpoint, you get more bang for your buck. A full cord of aged softwoods can weigh sometimes only half of what a full cord of aged hardwoods would weigh. In turn, this forces you to reorder more often, costing you more money in the long run.
