The best way to make a fire burn hotter is to use the hottest burning logs that you can. Oak, Ash and Black Locust burn very hot. Feed them into the fire along with fast burning wood such as Maple to keep the fire raging. If you do not burn a fast burning wood with the Oak and Ash, they will burn very hot, but very slowly. The object is to make as many red hot coals from the Oak and Ash at the base of the fire as possible. That is where the heat from your fire will come from and the more coals the hotter the fire will feel. Additional information for those seeking info on other than fireplace fires It also helps to make a low side base surrounded by something and make it narrow at the top, so that all the fire is more focused in one spot. using all these ideas was what made the first copper, silver, and gold things. you may ask yourself how can you make a fire so hot that it burns metal but not whats surrounding it. rocks, carefully build rock kilns.

Which generates more heat a wood or gas fireplace?
Well is the question the total amount of heat, or total USEFUL heat? In general, a wood fire burns a bit hotter than gas- hence the wood fired pizza ovens. Hoever, gas fireplaces usually have a heat exchanger that draws in room air, warms it, and returns it to the room. It has less air going up the chimney than a wood fireplace (a major point of heat loss) The chimney of a wood fireplace may be more massive brick, which will hold heat after the fire burns out.
