Various types of wood are suitable for lighting a fire bowl, offering good flammability and a pleasant flame. Here are some popular options: Hardwood: Hardwoods such as oak, beech or maple are ideal for lighting fires due to their density and high calorific value. They produce long-lasting and even embers. Fruit wood: Fruit wood such as apple, cherry or pear gives the fire a pleasant aroma and produces a beautiful flame. It burns relatively quickly and is well suited for kindling or short fires. Softwood: Softwoods such as spruce or pine burn quickly and produce a high flame, but are less suitable for long-lasting embers. However, they can be used as kindling wood to get the fire going quickly. It is important to use dry and well-stored wood to ensure efficient combustion and minimal smoke development. Avoid treated or varnished wood and wood with a high resin content, as this can lead to undesirable smoke development.
