Why do you think the cedar tree was so important to the Phoenicians?

These trees provided a lot of shade in the hot climate. The wood of the cedar is resistant to rotting, and Phoenicians were shipbuilders. The resin of the cedar was used in some forms of mummification as well.

How well does cedar wood burn?

Sure can. Tends to burn hot, and pretty fast. Would suggest burning cedar as a mix with other woods for best results. In an open fireplace, it will crackle and pop alot. So care needs to be taken. As always, make sure its good and dry. Good starter wood.
