North American Hardwoods Kiln-Dried Firewood vs Hickory Firewood

Buy the North American Hardwoods pack if you want firewood for a fireplace, fire pit or campfire. Buy the Hickory box if you are smoking or grilling meat and want one species with a strong flavor. The hardwood pack is a mixed assortment, so it lights easily and burns well but gives no single flavor profile. The hickory is pure, kiln-dried cooking wood with a bold smoke, and it is sold for BBQ rather than for heating. Owners of mixed hardwood packs like the easy lighting and clean burn; hickory buyers judge it on smoke flavor and how dry the splits arrive.

• Choose the Hardwood Pack if you want general-purpose firewood for a fireplace, fire pit or park-approved campfire.
• Choose the Hickory Firewood if you are smoking pork, brisket, ribs or poultry and want a strong, sweet smoke from one species.
