Hi guys, we wen't out for few bushy days last weekend. Decided to try out a group shelter for three people, made out of sticks and fallen leaves, with fireplace inside and a hole in top. One thing. The wood we burned was hazel. There were loads of it available around. What we find out to our dissapointment, that this wood is NO GOOD for "indoor" use as it spits quite a lot. One fella wake up with three holles in his sleeping bag. From what i saw, I think you can actually get yourself on fire from those.
We had a choise: pine (wet), hazel (plenty of dry standing), spruce (mostly wet), some ash and birch (long walk to get and it was wet) So what would be your choise in this situation?
