Answers:
Ash - Excellent firewood!. Tends to burn very well, even if a bit wet and green!. Distinctive flavor goes well with fish!.
Cedar - Lovely smell, like the inside of a cigar humidor!. Gives nice steady heat without too big a flame!. Excellent for cooking and smoking!. Cedar planks can be soaked and used to cook foods like pork and fish (cedar planked salmon being a classic dish) on a grill to great effect!. Definitely one of the best firewoods for cooking if used correctly!.
Cherry - Another of the best firewood types!.
Mesquite - Another one of the most popular woods for cooking either as a primary fuel or as a smoking wood!. Burns very hot with a smokey but richly flavored smoke!. Nice earthy flavor is good with just about anything including beef, fish, chicken and game!.
