Ash wood is a popular choice in the United Kingdom for numerous reasons, but you may be wondering if ash wood is suitable for cooking and BBQ. Maybe you’re planning a camping weekend away and want to cook directly on the campfire, but you are unsure if your ash wood is the right fuel.
Quick Heat Source
Ash wood has a very good efficiency ration, making it ideal for BBQ’s and pizza ovens. It helps you reach your desired cooking temperature in a short period of time.
Good Heat Output
Ash wood is a good campfire or BBQ addition, as it provides a good source of light. At the same time, it offers a good heat output, enabling you to all cuddle around the fire and stay warm while you cook.
Pleasant and Subtle Smell
Ash doesn’t give off a strong or very distinctive smell. It has a neutral scent, which is why it is such a good choice when it comes to cooking. It also gives off minimal smoke, reducing the need for your guests to constantly have to move around the fire as you cook to escape the smoke. This also enables you to use ash wood in your BBQ or for cooking when you live in a smoke free area in the UK, ensuring you meet regulations and reduce the risk of a fine.
Excellent Burn Duration
Ash wood tends to burn at a steady rate for longer. It is easy to light and use, and it does not need to be combined with any other woods to provide a longer burn duration, giving you more than enough time to get all the food cooked to perfection.
