The Wood Fire Handbook

Electronic book text

The complete guide to a perfect fire

Firewood is not a quaint reactionary fuel - it is wonderfully current, a true renewable, with a great future. The Wood Fire Handbook contains real specialist knowledge and will be a welcome and much-loved guide for the many people for whom wood fires are now a normal part of their life, as well as those coming new to the joys.

The huge rises in heating fuel prices have led to a widespread renaissance in people using wood heating within their home. The wood stove, once the preserve of true country folk and green enthusiasts, has now become a sensible and cost-effective method of heating in many homes. But most people no longer have a knowledge of the ways of wood. This book covers everything you need to know about creating the perfect wood fire, indoors and out, including: the best woods to burn, how to split logs, how to store and season firewood, how lay and tend a fire, choosing wood for scent, cooking on an open fire, and campfires. Illustrated with a mix of line drawings and evocative photographs, this is fundamentally a practical handbook, but with plenty of gift appeal.
