How chefs use Birch — the powerbase-plus-lumpwood cook

The Globaltic recommended setup for restaurant service and serious home cooks: use a briquette (HazelHex or Hex) as the powerbase — the long, stable heat foundation of the fire — and layer Birch lumpwood on top for the extra sear temperature and wood-flavour character. You get the longevity of a briquette and the flavour and top-end heat of lumpwood in one cook.
