BLACK WALNUT, BUT ALSO USE ALDER. I KEEP HALF A CORD OF ALDER UNDER WATER IN WINTER. USE DRY ALDER TO START FIRE ADD BLACK WALNUT, BUT AT NIGHT I ADD 2 PIECES OF WET ALDER TO FIRE, SO IT BURNS SLOW AND HOT FROM WALNUT. ALDER WILL ADD SLOW HEAT ALL NIGHT. THE DAMPNESS ALLOWS THE WOOD TO BE HOT/WITHOUT BURNING IT UP FOR MORNING TO ADD BLACK WALNUT TO KEEP IT GOING WITHOUT A RE-START.
