    Last night I was burning a mix of black locust and red cedar in my fireplace. Big bright flames, lots of crackling and popping but a deep bed of coals and plenty of heat. I have discovered my favorite mix for the fireplace.

    Nice looking fireplace and fire!

    The rack under your fire looks tired.

    Oh I’ve burned it out. I prop it up with bricks just because I can.

    Not at all. That's why it's taken me so many years to discover this mix.
