Alder wood is almost impossible to burn.
Umm not so, the phobia about burnign alder wood is that it attracts the
occult (allegedly), it does however burn well.
It could be that there is a confusion between Elder and Alder, totally
different trees. Elder (usually only a small bush, biggest logs
you'll get are only three or four inches diameter) really doesn't burn
very well.
Oak is difficult also.
Bull****.
It needs a good hot fire to burn well but that's all.
