Umm not so, the phobia about burnign alder wood is that it attracts the
occult (allegedly), it does however burn well.


Must try some. We could do with a few local spirits to liven up the dull

Oak is difficult also.


Bull****.


Both burn well if dry.

Never burn MDF if you can help it though..never mind te occult..it
stinks and is probably laced with a cocktail of chemicals that Saddam
Hussein would have wet dreams over.
