Aspen

Aspen firewood is beneficial primarily because it is very easy to split, dries quickly, and readily ignites due to its low density, making it a good choice for kindling or when you need a fast-burning fire. 

Key benefits of aspen firewood: 

Good kindling:

Because of its quick ignition properties, aspen is excellent for starting fires and can be used as kindling. 

Clean burning:

Aspen produces relatively little creosote buildup in your chimney compared to some other woods, making it a somewhat cleaner burning option. 

Pine

Pine is a good choice for firewood because it's easy to light, affordable, and has a pleasant smell. However, it doesn't burn as long as denser hardwoods. 

BenefitsEasy to light:

Pine's sap acts as an igniter, making it a good choice for starting fires. 

Affordable:

Pine is often readily available and inexpensive. 
Seasons quickly:

Softwoods like pine season faster than many other types of wood. 
Pleasant smell:

Pine has a crisp, clean aroma that can make your home feel more inviting.
