DON'T Burn Honduras Redheart Wood! 

Which wood would you use for a campfire??

Since they said wood has moisture in it, I became curious as to what would happen if they freeze dried wood and if it would burn differently.

I can almost hear Bobby Duke in the distance saying, “Wewd...I want that.”

I must admit, receiving a notification that just says “Don’t Burn Honduras Redheart Wood” is rather strange.

Those hardwoods really shine with the coals it produces, i would like to see which woods produce the hottest coals!

I heard that Manzanita wood, a bush that grows locally here burns super hot enough to damage cast iron wood stoves.

As a woodworker, seeing that walnut burn, just hurt my soul....

Honduran speaking here Actually, the Redheart wood is hardly ever used as like, the main fuel. If we use it its probably because of how easy is it catch fire

I need to see more common wood types. Oak, hickory, birch, pine, poplar, locus, etc. Also, it would be interesting to see is the wood hardness effects the rate of burn or the heat output

Try oak, hickory and mesquite. Those are the most common bbq wood

My husband aka Bonfire Cartoons on facebook studied Australian trees during his 42 yrs as an Australian fire officer/trainer. He was fascinated at how quickly trees would burn if they contained oil like our Eucalyptus Gum. Near the end of his career, he knew how long a wildfire would last & what direction it would go. He said he sensed the weather condition with the lay of the land & could tell you how fast it would go with the different plants & trees.

What happens if you put a phones that you “accidentally” dropped in water, into a freeze dryer?

Nate: We like fun toys. Callie: BLOWTORCH!

Any woodworkers sad to see that gorgeous redheart burned :(

A wood moisture monitor would have been helpful.

4:10 The first fire is lit! 6:30 The commentary on the experiment 6:51 The results begin

@TKOR I feel like their videos have been getting shorter, less cleanly edited, and having more time-filling montages lately. I also suspect they either changed editors or got a new one because, as somebody who knows a little bit about video editing (though not enough to do it professionally) the edits seem a little careless, sloppy, and rushed lately. For example, at around 4:46 there is a poorly placed scene cut. Nate says "It (the water) is only getting to around 92 F" and then there is a cut, and Nate says that " 'it' is up to about 1000 F". I assume he must he talking about the fire after the cut because I doubt that the water ever got that hot. It would evaporate super fast if the water got that hot. The issue is that, because of where the cut was placed, the only indicator that 'it' was now the fire, was the few inches of difference in where he placed the probe (water vs. fire), which is hard to notice. It also doesn't help that the entire stove and pot are off-screen at the time, so you can only really guess where the probe is, anyway. Also, in the very next scene, the pot is gone. You only know the pot was there when he said the 2nd part is because he mentioned it. The cut should have been placed at the beginning of the sentance or paragraph where he, presumably, stated the object that 'it' was refering to. I have noticed little things like this in most of their recent videos. I would gladly have them make 1 or 2 fewer videos a week if the videos they made were higher quality, a little longer, and had fewer time-fillers.

TKOR: we’ve got 10 different types of wood Minecraft players: finally! A worthy opponent!

Don’t burn Honduran redheart wood, that sounds like the beginning of a curse.

Nate: I have an idea for a video. Cali: What? Nate: Let’s burn... Cali: OK! Nate: ... wait, what? You didn’t let me finish. Cali: No, it’s cool lets do it!

This has to be Cali's favorite episode to film. _Nothing but FIRE!_

Try doing ten different local types of wood. Also try different ways of stacking the wood. I.E. pyramid, log cabin style, maybe a Dakota fire hole. Also, this reminds me of “The Firewood Poem” by Celia Congreve. It’s an interesting read.

Drinking Game: Take a shot every-time they say “different type of wood”

The wood you REALLY don't want to burn is Manchineel.

RU-vid: LETS SEND THIS 3 MINUTES LATE! Edit: holy thanks for the likes this is the most I’ve gotten ._.

Careful, a lot of exotic woods are poisonous.

Independent variable: The type of wood Dependent variable: Which one burns fast Controlled variable: The thermometer

I'm a board certified master arborist. I recommend using whatever is handy for a camp fire... As far as ash, it's gonna be extinct soon due to the emerald ash borer, I think.

i work in a major retailer (Walmart) doing stocking and i have noticed there are brands we carry that actually package and sell firewood, you should do a video comparing whether store-bought firewood is better than naturally-obtained firewood or if there is any difference at all in the wood

Didn’t even know that was a wood

I miss the days THE king used to make actually helpfull or at least interesting videos... I miss him😢

Spruce is a type of pine, and the difference is density. More dense = sustainable heat. The two softest woods you tested flared out.

I use a wood called apitong/keruing for building custom flatbeds, I kept the scraps and burt it in my fireplace in the shop.. melted the glass on the front now the glass actually sags 1/2"! Hottest wood I've ever seen burn and I burn cherry wood each year along with varieties of pine.

The top part of the wood gas stove is installed the wrong way. As you placed it, it blocks the hot air holes. You need to turn that part around!

I wonder if the decreasing boiling times had to do with the pan or heating unit retaining heat. Unless they let both cool to room temp before starting again.

Nate: Today we're going to be making fire, fire, and more fire. Calli's Brain: Is it my birthday?

As soon as I saw fire involved, I knew Callie would be there xD

I can use it for my backyard metal foundry and where I can get this thermometer. This video is very useful for me.

I've heard that Black Locust will burn really hot. I also hear that it's hard to start a fire with it because it's dense wood. You could also consider getting some pine fat wood also called knot wood.

Bobby Duke Arts: "Did someone say wewd?"

Cedar keeps way bugs. So I burn that in my pit in spring and fall.

Feels like the videos have been getting shorter. I would've liked to see some of their reactions to the various results and definitely the smell of the Honduras red heart.

Softwoods burn hotter, which is why it's used in kindling. It burns out quickly, though, which is why you use hardwoods for long-burning fires. Surface area is also key, so the size of pieces probably had an impact on your results. Smaller pieces will burn faster and hotter.

Fun fact you cant breath while smiling It is a joke just wanted to make you smile

Have yall ever done a test on which stack style is the best for campfires? (Ie log cabin versus circle versus tent etc)

What wood makes the most smoke when you burn it? Can you answer that for me? Please 👉👈

Try burning manzanita wood. It's a VERY strong wood that burns very hot for a long time. Its referred too as iron wood.

"Wood should never get up 2500 F, no matter what you do to it " - Nate, 2020 What if you hollow it out and fill the middle with thermite?

I have a wood fired furnace.... I can tell you different wood species has different BTU content, and some burn quicker and 'hotter' than others.

Claim your 'here before a million views ticket

Nice result! From basic physics, you'd say the hottest boils it the fasters. Just basic thermodynamics. It's a nice showcase of how in practice something might go different from expectation due to it being (a lot) more complex than your textbook approximations ;)

Any Hondurans or just me?🇭🇳

As a blacksmith and maker of things watching these beautiful woods burnt hurt a little

The redhert hurt my camping soul, all of that soot on the pan would be a pain to clean and then they KEPT USING IT. This means it stays black/ is harder to get off. That hurt my soul.

Honduras redheart would make some really cool furniture but its probably really expensive...

When Nate said shoe trees, I actually thought of "Shoe Trees".

Most people that go backpacking or camping already know, if you want a hot fire, burn pine or spruce. If you want a long lasting fire, than burn more dense wood like oak.

Shame. I had a ton of these lying around and was gonna build a bonfire

Without a doubt, Peruvian Saltwood Maple. It's worth the extra expense for your bonfires. Free shipping with Amazon Prime.

we never learned WHY not to burn red heart honduras wood

Yeah, it makes sense that those were the two best woods to burn. They often are lighter, dry easier, and have much more sap, which readily burns.

When your name is Aspen: don't burn me ;

Speaking from experience in fueling a wood-burning stove for heating a house, dense hardwoods like oak tend to have the greatest fuel value. However, they don't burn as rapidly, so in a small, inefficient stove like that, they won't do as well as softwoods. On the other hand, with a properly designed stove and with careful tending, they can get way hotter and burn far longer than softwoods.

Try putting wood in a freeze dryer then see if that makes a difference in the burn time and temp.

Test total heat output time. Measure from when you start the gel or when the wood actually takes fire, to when they have completely burnt up and no longer outputting heat. Control the amount of wood for each group. We have a lot of Douglas FIr that burns pretty hot but short lived. Another common one here is Madrone which I believe burns less hot, but longer. See if you can tell a difference between wood density (growth ring density) and burn time. Might take awhile, but you could have multiple burning at the same time. Always stay curious.

You should try turning all of these into charcoal and seeing what cooks steak best.

OMG!!! I am Honduran, I feel amazing!😊🤣😁 Anyone else? 🤔 Latin Americans? 😅 Wooooooooooh😊

Best form of control is to get the wood pieces as close to each other in shape, and fix the probe to the bottom of the grill so that the readings would be from the metal heating up rather than trying to find a hot spot in the wood. Depending on budget having them all set up with propane and an igniter to get them all started at the same time so that it would be displayed how long each took instead of just notes. With the camera viewing them as they burn to also show the other aspect of how much smoke each produces as it burns comparing to the others.

Spruce and birch are the main firewood in interior Alaska. Spruce is more common so it's used more, but birch is said to make longer lasting fires. Cottonwoods don't dry properly and tend to rot before they are ready to use, and are more of a creosote hazard.

So why exactly shouldn't you burn Honduras Redheart wood?

*My* heart breaks at the idea of burning red heart wood. Its so beautiful.

Never been this early

Like you said it was a small percentage of wood types. Here in South Texas the common ones are Oak, Mesquite, and Pecan.

4:55 Nate: "...only about one thousand degrees..." Me: "Hol' up, that's like 14 times as hot as most people experience in summer."🤔

King of Random: Just wanted to say thank you for your videos, love you guys! See if your videos throttle past 5 days (shadow ban) ~ lots of channels are complaining *Hawthorn is hottest fire wood*

Am I actually here early 149 like S 2 dislikes and 69 comments dang finally RU-vid’s notification wasn’t late by like a day

Try contacting various rocket mass heater developers. Such as: - Rocket Mass Heater Shippable Cores - 2 hours smashed into 8 minutes, from "Better Wood Heat" - Aircrete Rocket Mass Heater Uses One Log for 13 Hours of Heat They'll take you in whole different directions. For example many of their burn chamber temperatures easily exceed 2,000 F.

You forgot Pinokio try him too.

The spruce and pine burned the best because it contains pitch as its a softwood. Which is also why you don't want to use it in wood stoves. As it also creates large amounts of creosote and can cause chimney fires if used often. Its fine for camp fires just not indoors. Plus it doesn't leave alot of hot coal behind. So its akin to burning paper. You'll get a quick burst of heat but hardwood like oak, ask, maple, birch etc.... will give you more sustainable heat. Also fruit wood , like apple trees or peach trees and so on generally are some of the hottest burning wood types.

Love the video! I'd love to see you do a colab with CrazyRussianHacker.

My friends and I smoke allot of bbq and most say you actually don’t notice a difference in flavor in different types of wood . I think this would be a great taste test and experiment to try !! Love the show keep it !

Some of those special hard woods can be toxic when burned

I have a suggestion for a video: If you haven't done this already I think it would be cool for you to try making Prince Rupert drops (those glass teardrop thingies) using different liquids. I don't care what liquids you use but you have to try liquid N2 and some kind of soda. (I want to see how the cryogenic temperatures, as well as the gas bubbles, affect the formation). Thank you.

I’ve never been this early in my life 😭

Sterno, the Fondue fire of my childhood:) Thank you guys, I have always loved working with exotic hardwoods. Cool to see how they really burn, I always heard stories in woodshop of the dangers. I guess not so much, that's 50 years lost.:)

Try putting a hydrophobic (water repelling) spray on a car windshield. NEVER NEED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AGAIN!!

You should see how efficiently they burn, because a soft wood may burn hotter but also burn off quicker compared to a hard wood

Can you guys please do a bacteria test on your hands after you wash them and after you use hand sanitizer and after you don't wash them at all 👍👍👍

If you're using it for heat like in a wood stove or fireplace, the heavy hard woods are the most energy dense. Oak, maple, cherry, hickory, etc. These will put out the most heat over time. Pine or spruce may burn hotter for a short period of time.

Thermite Wood When?

You should try to find the sweet spot between the temperature and the time of burning. Time of burning per 1 pound of wood.

uh-hi

You should try burning black locust. It grows locally and has the reputation of being able to melt the inside of wood stoves. I live in Virginia and yes I have melted the interior baffles one a wood stove with it. It also burns for a long time. There are also some woods that give off toxic fumes and should never be burned in a fireplace (like found in some antique furniture.)

I just happened to have a book that lists the "Heat Values of Wood Fuel" in a chart form showing Btu per pound and Btu per chord (128 cubic foot), so energy per (mass) weight and energy per volume, but it dosen't list temperature of combustion in open still air. Hickory is up top on volumetric energy density while white pine tops the per unit mass energy density. I don't burn mesquite wood except in campfires because it burns hot enough to cause some damage to fireplaces and stoves.

Ceder is great for starting a fire and it smells great but in a fireplace it produces a lot of smoke and gums up your chimney so that could be dangorus if you don't clean it

I loved this. Can you please try burning more types of wood? I’m super curious about maple and pine.

Some cotinus tree varieties have quite an aromatic wood, maybe those might be interesting to try? That stuff also lights off quite well when clearing old brush from a yard in a burn pile. (And the "smoke" part that the seeds form in also makes a nearly perfect tinder when dry.)

I work with exotic woods, and I just want everyone here to know that you should NOT inhale fumes or smoke from burning red hart! They are toxic! Cool video thought.
