What kind of wood leaves the most clinkers? I had a bunch left from last night, but I had at least three kinds of wood that I burned, so I don't know which they came from. Not to be confused with coals.
I think I remember a discussion on here a long time ago that clinkers form from mineral/dirt deposits trapped in the bark. Perhaps, it's trapped in the furrows of the ash bark. Of course, I'm assuming the bark furrows on your ash splits are much deeper than those on your maple ones.The most? I do not know.......but I do get them when I burn straight ash and I do not get them when I burn straight maple.
That makes sense. There could be a lot of trapped sand in there.Ash and to a degree - elm, in my experience. Not sure how much truth is involved, but I have heard that ash has a tendency to contain more silica. Could be an old wives tale, but seems to follow the whole "clinker" discussion.
