Hornbeam Firewood :
Hornbeam Firewood is another favourite of ours.
It is an Ironwood (a grouping of the world’s densest wood) & has the highest energy rating of any firewood! (Olive is never included in these tests)
Historically it would have been used as the hub of a wheel with perhaps Ash spokes, or the Keel of a boat or even wooden gears & the like (pre Industrial Revolution) it also burns with great temperature (brilliant for Pizza Ovens too) great volatility & flame. It has a great willingness to burn, a most satisfying firewood. Without wanting to hurt any of our Irish customer’s feelings, Hornbeam is one of the main reasons why we don’t stock Ash firewood. Hornbeam has more flame & burns hotter & longer than Ash. There’s no point in stocking it we feel.
