Testing the heat output of fatwood with assistance from my local fire department
Special thanks to the Estes Valley Fire Protection District for assisting me with temperature testing some different samples of fatwood\pitchwood for an upcoming article I'm working on. I still have more research and testing to do, but I can say at this point that fatwood burns hotter than both Trioxane and Petroleum Jelly soaked cotton balls. We also saw the highest consistent temperatures from a piece of solid Douglas Fir resin. Here's a shot of the fire captain testing a burn sample with an infrared heat camera:

I as well as my pals appeared to be reviewing the good tips and tricks on your website and then unexpectedly I had a horrible suspicion I had not thanked the web blog owner for those techniques. My ladies are already totally warmed to read through all of them and have now very much been having fun with those things. Thank you for indeed being so helpful and also for deciding upon some extraordinary issues most people are really eager to be informed on. My personal honest regret for not saying thanks to earlier.
