For NH,
Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year
Chestnut's only good they say
If for long it's laid away
Birch and fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last
Elm wood burns like churchyard mould
Even the very flames are cold
Poplar gives a bitter smoke
Fills your eyes and makes you choke
Apple wood will scent your room
With an incense like perfume
Oak and maple if dry and old Keep away the winter Cold
But ash wet and ash dry
A king shall warm his slippers by
An old english saying
