This wood is great for ambience fires since it burns bright and with a good crackle. It is also cleaner and less likely to have bugs. It burns quickly and you will be able to go to bed sooner after you've had enough unless you have filled the fire-place.
Bear in mind, if you want all night comfort, you won't need to get up periodically to keep an electric blanket or beating pad warm!
Enjoy!

Kamper-You're a gem. This suggestion is indeed more for less... but it seems like a lot of time and work for firewood. I'm looking for those little bundles by the side of the road that folks sell.
