A cherry log is divine for its aroma.

BEECHWOOD logs burn bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year.
CHESTNUT's only good, they say
If for long it's laid away.

BIRCH and FIR logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last.

ELM wood burns like a church yard mold
Even the very flames are cold.

POPLAR gives a bitter smoke
Fills your eyes and makes you choke.

APPLE wood will scent your room
With an incense like perfume.

OAK and MAPLE if dry and old
Keep away the winter cold.

But ASH wood wet and ASH wood dry a
king shall warm his sippers by.

I just had to share this.... since we are talking about wood.
