Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year.
Chestnut's only good, they say,
If for long it's laid away.
Birch and fir logs burn too fast,
Blaze up bright and do not last.
It is by the Irish said,
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
Elm wood burns like a churchyard mold,
E ' en the very flames are cold.
Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke.
Apple wood will scent your room
With an incense like perfume.
Oak and maple, if dry and old,
Keep away the winter cold.
But Ash wood wet or Ash wood dry,
A king shall warm his slippers by.

Jim at rixens.com installs Espar heaters in Westfalias. They use either gas or diesel which is cheaper than propane.

I believe gypsies used a type of small sheepherder stove in their caravan/trailers. Burn cowdung, very efficient.
Yeah, good explanation through poem. I liked it.
