1. Heat output
At 23.0 million BTUs of heat per cord, olive will keep you warm. It’s okay for use in the depths of winter, but this wood is super-dense and takes some effort to get started. A fast-lighting softwood kindling will help get the fire started much quicker.
2. Smoke
The flavor of olive wood smoke is close to that of oak wood smoke. In Andalusia, Spain, olive wood is commonly used for grilling fish, poultry, meats, and vegetables.
3. Spark
Spark-free burning firewood, made exclusively from 100% sustainable sources. Free of mould, mildew and pests due to kiln drying.
4. Aroma
Denser than regular firewood, olive wood provides a glowing, golden flame and a beautifully-scented aroma for the whole family.
5. Coaling
Olive wood is a great hardwood, it burns much like pecan or oak. It has a large flame and is clean burning with very little ash and is easy to light. It is also an excellent firewood for your fireplace or outside fire pit.
6. Creosote builds up
Creosote is a tar-like black substance deposited inside chimneys as the fire burns. Some softwood types produce a lot, meaning you’ll need to clean the chimney more often.Seasoned olive burns clean and leaves minimal creosote. No matter what firewood you choose, regular chimney maintenance is a good idea to reduce the chance of unwanted fires.
