Cherry firewood
Cherry is an excellent wood for burning in the fireplace. Cherry burns hot but does not produce as much heat as oak or maple. This is because cherry contains less sap than other woods, so it burns more slowly and produces less heat. However, when combined with other hardwoods such as walnut or ash, cherry can be very good at warming your home during the winter.
In terms of overall burning power, it's safe to say that cherry is an 8 out of 10 in efficiency compared to other trees commonly used for firewood, such as oak. It's not quite as efficient as nut trees or fruit trees which can easily reach 9/10 on our scale, but it still does better than most other types of trees.
Bring out the cherry scent
You may be wondering if cherries have an aroma. Like many other types of wood, cherry produces a pleasant aroma when burning. However, it is not as aromatic as other popular firewood choices such as apple or oak. For example, while cherry can be used to create a pleasant campfire experience (and probably won't make you sneeze), it won't send the same kind of sweet scents into the air that maple will.
The cherry scent isn't unpleasant, but it won't fill your camp with the scent of fresh bakery. It is essential to keep this in mind if you plan to use cherry wood for open flame cooking
Do cherries produce sparks?
Yes, cherry is a hardwood. Since it is harder than most other woods, when burned it will produce more sparks than softer woods such as pine.
This is because hardwoods contain tannin in their cells, which makes them more resistant to mold and rot. When you burn them, tannin is released into the air and causes the embers to ignite on contact with oxygen. This can lead to larger flames or sparks if there is enough heat in the fireplace or campfire pit.
Types of cherry wood
Many people rely on wood to heat their homes and to cook or bake. But what type of wood is best for burning? Below we will discuss the types of cherry wood available, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each.
1. Chokecherry
Chokecherry wood is an excellent choice for firewood. It is harder than most other woods, which means it burns hotter and for longer. It is suitable for its high heat, especially for cooking food over an open fire. The same can be said of home heating or even making furniture. Chokecherry's heat resistant properties make it ideal for use as table legs or chair legs, as well as floors and walls in your cabin.
Chokecherry wood is also very strong and hard, which makes it a great choice for carving. The wood's density makes it a good candidate for tools, knobs, and other sturdy items. The best part about chokecherry wood is that it can be cut into any size or shape you want. It is easier to work with than most woods because of the uniform grain pattern.
2. Wild cherry
Wild cherry wood, also known as black cherry, produces a strong, sweet aroma that is perfect for smoking meats. The smoke itself has an earthy flavor that complements the natural sweetness of pork and other game birds. Wild cherries are also good for smoking fish and poultry
The wood is dense and hard, so it burns evenly and slowly. Cherries are a good choice for smoking meats because they produce small amounts of creosote and don't impart a strong flavor. It also does not burn as hot as other woods, making it ideal for smoking large cuts or whole animals without drying out the meat too quickly.
3. Cherry laurel
Cherry laurel is a common firewood and is often used to smoke meats. It has a higher heat content than most other hardwoods, burns with a sweet aroma, and produces a lot of smoke. Cherry laurel is also a great choice for cooking because it retains its flavor well when exposed to high temperatures.
